Watch Final Fantasy VI Concert Recording For Free
Earlier this summer, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra performed a suite of music from Final Fantasy VI at the Stockholm Concert Hall. This performance of music composed by Nobuo Uematsu was recorded and a new 20-minute high-definition video of the concert performance has now been made available online.
The award winning Final Fantasy VI Symphonic Poem is part of a Final Symphony concert series, which is an officially licensed series of concerts featuring symphonic versions of music composed for Final Fantasy games. Final Symphony producer Thomas Böcker states:
“The music of Nobuo Uematsu remains as powerful and as moving today as it did when we first heard it twenty years ago… It’s been an honour and a pleasure to bring his music to the concert hall and now, for the first time ever, we’re delighted to be able to share the Symphonic Poem online with the world in this, Final Fantasy VI’s 20th anniversary year. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world’s finest orchestras, with a long tradition of performing video gaming’s best-loved melodies, and they have produced a concert video that does true justice to the music.”

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
