A piece of music shrouded in myth, allegedly rescued from the ruins of a bombed Dresden library and attributed to an 18th-century Venetian composer who may never have written it.
Seventy-six years later, a massive multitrack production—with a live orchestra, full arrangement, and lead vocal performance—faced its own kind of oblivion, abandoned and gathering dust on a Google Drive for five years.
Different eras, both left for dead, both waiting for the same breath of life.
Challenge accepted.

Shimi Goodman, Veteran of the West End and National Stages, had commissioned George Guerrette for a full show. At the end of that meeting, almost as an afterthought, he mentioned a recording he'd made five years earlier and never released. A beautifully performed live orchestral arrangement of Adagio, set in the classical genre. "See what you can do with it," he said. "And use as much of the original tracks as you can.”

George preserved what he could of the original — honouring the work that went into it — while building something entirely new around it. The tools were modern. The vision was singular. While the original orchestration opens the track like a memory; distant, warm, slightly faded, the world then shifts. What emerges is cinematic and inevitable…

A Bond-scale power ballad rising from the dust of a five-year silence.

“I was waiting to find the right person that could make it the way I heard it in my head. And I found him. What George has done with this song has truly exceeded all expectations. Working with Justin has been a real honour, and what he’s brought to it is simply remarkable.”
