The Greatest Video Game Music Played by London Philharmonic Orchestra
"The Greatest Video Game Music", performed by highly acclaimed London Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Andrew Skeet, features a wide variety of the most popular gaming themes. Video Games have emerged as a critical form of entertainment, and bridging the divide between classical music and computer games, "The Greatest Video Game Music" is the perfect album for classical enthusiasts as well as avid gamers. With themes from timeless series such as "Legend of Zelda", "Final Fantasy" and "Tetris", together with the most popular titles of today, like "Call of Duty", "Grand Theft Auto IV", "World of Warcraft" and "Uncharted", the lineup is strong indeed. There is also room for some bold renditions of light hearted video game themes such as "The Super Mario Bros", and the incredibly successful "Angry Birds", mingled with true horror pieces, like the themes of "Bioshock", and "Dead Space". Video Game Music has certainly evolved over the last 20 years, from the simple bleeps of arcade games to robust orchestrations written for complex games on platforms like Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo. Now, for the first time, themes from the most popular games have been recorded in the studio by a top-tier full symphony orchestra and chorus.
