Final Symphony II - music from Final Fantasy V, VIII, IX and XIII

by Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Mischa Cheung

supported by

JMD Reid Such a great follow up to their last Final Symphony. Awesome medleys that capture the heart and soul of the Video Games. Hard to choose a favorite since they were all great! Favorite track: Encore: Final Fantasy IX (Not Alone).

pretendersfan Final Symphony II is the paragon of Video Game concerts. Even somehow able to surpass the sublime majesty of the original Final Symphony.

For the People of Gaia is an incredible love letter to the beautiful, fanciful and adventurous world of Final Fantasy IX and I cannot imagine any fan of IX's score being anything but elated listening to it.

about

Presented as full length, beautifully orchestrated suites, one for each of the games included, Final Symphony II features the music of Final Fantasy V, VIII, IX and XIII, as performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded inside the stunning Stockholm Konserthuset.

Spotlighting much loved themes from composers Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu, such as Blinded by Light, Festival of the Hunt, Waltz for the Moon and Reina’s Theme to name a few, Final Symphony II tells the story of each title through music and is the ultimate tribute for fans of the long-running role-playing game series.

Note: The Bandcamp release includes the HD version of the album: 24 bit / 48 kHz FLAC!
