sa-weet. awesome.

 

[GCX]

The arrangement was done by Jonne Valtonen. He is finnish.

I've never heard of him and I'm Finnish.

Well, he just got a new fan.

 

[maniac-kun]

I hadn't heard of Cologne before the games con recently held there and this concert today. :lol :lol

Figures, two gaming-related events put it on the map for me. I love your city, Cologne-GAFfers.

we have a lot of japanese tourists because of our cathedral ^^

 

[LowParry]

That is my first live videogame music concert and it was mind blowing, a big applause to the people that make it happend through internet, thank you very much.



I want something like this but with Capcom music.

Think of what Konami could do MGS? Castlevania?

 

[Dead Prince]

it was soooooo gooood.

 

[jaxword]

Time paradox? There's a cam version on youtube already.

Could be yesterday's version?

 

[Shig]

The only complaint I have is that there was too much FFVII in the Uematsu set.

I tend to agree, but... Battle at the Big Bridge heals all wounds.

 

[Shadow780]

The only complaint I have is that there was too much FFVII in the Uematsu set.

Can't be helped, it's always the "safer" choice, to satisfy majority of the audience.

Even though I have to say that Battle Theme is beyond heavenly.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Very impressive.

[Diablos]

I agree wholeheartedly. First the tease to Chocobo and then the solo-percussion? Insane, but in a great way. Although I would have preferred it if they had left OWA to just that tease, and replaced it with something else in the encore(just don't ask me what).

Eh, if that was the only thing less-than-stellar about the performance I'd still be willing to give it a 10/10 for originality alone.

 

[Geneijin]

But yeah, before I leave this thread, thanks Rektash for the thread and nod to this event. It was a great experience, and my viewing of it wouldn't have been possible without you.

 

[McNum]

For some reason, I think a Sega themed concert could be fun. Nintendo, too, if it wasn't because the Mario and Zelda themes already have been set to orchestra several times.

Still, this was good. I kind of though that it was the older songs who performed better in this arrangement. I mean Ansem's boss theme sounded pretty much like it did in the game, while Lavos' was a massive improvement on an already powerful theme. One Winged Angel was fun, mainly because how they teased it. One Winged Chocobo.

 

[challen]

Thanks for posting about this concert. I enjoyed it a lot.

 

[Delriach]

I need this on my PS3...

 

[Xater]

Time paradox? There's a cam version on youtube already.

There also was a concert yesterday in Oberhausen that was not streamed.

 

[Deadly]

Oh didn't know it played yesterday also. And yes, gotta give my thanks to Rektash for informing us about this!

 

[Magnus]

Huge thanks to Rektash for notifying us all about this. Outstanding!

[Drakken]

Rony Barrak (the percussionist) killed that solo. Great encore. Lavos was a nice surprise.

 

[Delriach]

I ended up hearing about it from the Distant Worlds twitter page that ended up linking me to the Distant Worlds Facebook page with the announcement.

It's probably best to follow and be a fan for other announcements in the future if you aren't already doing that.

 

[SupraDarky]

Every time I think of Rony Barrak, I think of this video of him playing Daytona USA's Let's Go Away with Takenobu Mitsuyoshi.

 

[GCX]

Nintendo, too, if it wasn't because the Mario and Zelda themes already have been set to orchestra several times.

There's so much Nintendo stuff that hasn't gotten proper orchestratrations though. Fire Emblem alone would deserve a concert of its own with tracks like this:

Are they even still allowed to play that ?

 

[Rengoku]

Alright folks, video capture looks pretty good. Not sure if theres any stuttering or syncing issues, but I haven't encountered any so far.

Symphonic Fantasies Concert 2009 in Cologne:

Part 1 - Torrent (547 MB)
Part 2 & 3 - Torrent (681 MB)

Note: Video recorder stopped midway through the stream for some reason, but thankfully it was only when the announcer guy was talking, so you don't really miss out on anything. Anyway, that's why theres 2 parts in the second torrent.

Also, 2nd torrent u/l speed will be limited while I try to get the 1st one fully seeded.

If you're having trouble playing the video, try using Media Player Classic.

Enjoy!

wow, amazing.

Haha, I just watched that for old time's sake after seeing him in this concert. Gotta love Mitsuyoshi's enthusiasm and cracking voice.

I know how big a music library Nintendo has. I mean SSBB alone has over 250 songs and people still complain that some of their favorites were missing. A not-Mario and not-Zelda concert could be interesting. Metroid, Star Fox, and Pokémon need orchestral love, too.

That you SO much man!!!

This concert was so awesome!

 

[jett]

This was truly amazing. The Chrono part was my favorite. Many thanks to the OP for bringing this to our attention.

 

[Delriach]

This concert has made me quite happy

 

[KajunW]

Okay, I youtubed some bits of the concert. This is the DSL version, so not optimal quality, but this is for those who are inpatient and missed the show or want to relive it now, instead of downloading rengoku's torrent.

Chrono Medley part one

Chrono Medley part two

Secret of Mana medley part one

Secret of Mana medley part two

More to follow (vids may not be processed yet).

 

[Xater]

I also contacted the WDR to ask in how and when they will release this concert. I will keep you updated if I get an answer.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Fantastic show,Will buy if/when it becomes available.

Thanks OP

 

[Rengoku]

:lol

Props to OP! I would not have known about this if it weren't for this thread. Was incredible!

Downloaded, will seed to at least a 1.5 ratio Thanks for this

 

[B.K.]

THANKS! Man I love how they intertwined Chrono Trigger with Scars of Time. It's so good.

That was actually what I hated most about the concert. They ruined Chrono Trigger.

 

[McNum]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but look at the Symphonic Fantasies logo. A heart, a tree, a clock, and a crystal. Subtle but distinct nods to each series.

What I like about this concert is the arrangements are far from standard. You see so many straightforward arrangements these days, so this was definitely refreshing to hear. And, as some posters have noted, Secret of Mana arrangements are so rare, it was a pleasure to hear from it again. Although I wish they'd played the Mana Fortress theme (would have been nice instead of The Oracle, which was an odd choice in my opinion).

 

[Wario64]

The Final Fantasy stuff is on youtube now

 

[Nasreddin]

Thanks to the uploaders. Can not wait for the CD release. Kingdom Hearts medley was my personal favourite. Just awesome!
