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)
"Distant Worlds II: More Music From Final Fantasy was a concert in the Distant Worlds series featuring music from Final Fantasy games that was performed on June 12, 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden, just as the first Distant Worlds concert was. Arnie Roth returned to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra with a completely new program presenting more pieces from Final Fantasy. Simultaneously with the concert, this new CD with the same repertoire was released. The recording was done by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Arnie Roth in January 2010. The name Distant Worlds II only refers to the Stockholm concert; the series itself has continued under the original Distant Worlds name with the new arrangements added to its permanent rotation."
