High self-esteem.

Saturday evening – I was at a Paul Romero concert, right in the House of Music. It was quite amazing. Many pieces were reworked to suit the orchestra, and Paul himself played the piano. It started with the battle music from Heroes 3, the most aggressive one. Mostly, the music was from the third game. It felt like they played almost everything from there. There was a sitar, my friend is a fan of it, and I saw this amazing instrument for the first time; it sounds great. It was used in Rampart and Nature (Heroes 3 and 4, respectively). The downsides: there was little music from the fifth game, and it wasn't orchestral (Paul played a duet with some saxophonist, but it was still beautiful). The comments from the audience, like "What is this?" during the music from the Academy of Magic, were amusing. Another downside: they whetted my appetite by bringing a choir on stage, but in the end, the vocals were only used for Necropolis (Heroes 3). The applause was long and loud. Paul repeated three different melodies at the end, just to please the fans. He talked a little about his music, saying that he didn't expect anyone to listen to it, let alone come to a concert. But now, he says, he knows what Heroes players look like.
