Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy (2007)

Exponent van een fenomeen dat in toenemende mate opgang doet: muziek die gecomponeerd is voor computergames wordt door symfonie-orkesten opgepikt en vervolgens uitgebracht op CD. Game-muziek is op dit moment een van de meer lucratieve vormen van muziek voor componisten. "Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy is a concert tour featuring music from the Final Fantasy game series that began touring on December 4, 2007 in Stockholm, Sweden. The series of concerts features music conducted by Arnie Roth and composed by Nobuo Uematsu. Launched in conjunction with the twentieth anniversary of Final Fantasy, the two-hour long concerts include music from every single game of the series. Released on December 4, 2007 to coincide with the first concert of the tour, the Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy album features the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and contains most songs performed at that concert. It was recorded in August 2007 at the Stockholm Concert Hall." (Wikipedia)
