Dustin O’Halloran is another fine modern classical musician/composer amongst the excellent peers like Johan Johannsson, Max Richter, Peter Broderick Nils Frahm, etc. (of course he's also a great dream pop rocker if you remember his romantic band 'Devics'!!)…….his composition and self-taught piano talent come up 2 of his previously released solo piano albums with beautiful, contemporary thoughtful and sentimental music….
In ‘Lumiere’, Dustin O’Halloran evolves his solo piano stuff with more strings involvement and richer arrangements……..with the help from his friends (not competitors!!) like Johan Johannsson, Peter Broderick, etc. (what a admirable harmonic music scene!!), you will be no wonder there is string orchestral involved and some orchestral arrangements are also very Johan Johannsson-like….nevertheless, the vibe of complete album is still his own subtle, modern, a bit dark a bit sad and thoughtful soundtrack mood (still remember his stunning score to Sofia Coppola's 2006 film Marie Antoinette?!) which is quite the same as his last 2 solo albums if melodies are not less beautiful this time I think……anyway, ‘Lumiere’ is still a good modern classical album in nowadays standard!!!
