Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts music from Tokyo Philharmonic

The Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra recorded Symphonic Fantasies Tokyo, a live album of classic video game music, during its two days of sold-out shows in 2012. The performance includes orchestral renditions of music from Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross – and the full album is now available worldwide on iTunes, courtesy of X5 Music Group.

Kingdom Hearts composer Yoko Shimomura says of the new album, "Symphonic Fantasies Tokyo’ is “a wonderful experience – I cannot imagine a higher appreciation of my work."

Hear "Fantasy 1: Kingdom Hearts," the only track released in full to the wide and wild internet, below. It's a fairly spectacular feast for the ears and heart.
