the craft of classical music has took a turn this last centuries, it still exist, yet you don't realize it, movies and video games. these are the places classic music survived.
A lot of people don't realize that many of the composers who write music to these games are indeed real composers who work for video game companies. Koji Kondo is a perfect example. It might be a video game but the music follows the same rules as would a Beethoven music sheet does. Music is very universal.
I dont see the distinction of the music at all. This is real fucking bliss to listen to the work of Yasunori, very beautiful songs not to be treated as simple entertainment for youngsters of old ages ahahaha. But nice perspective BTW
I HAD to look this up because I've seen him in other videos too. He's actually kinda famous. Rony Barrak's his name? He stands out so much because he's always so enthusiastic. Love him!
I am the opposite I wish I could forget I ever played this game so I could play it again like it was the first time. Nothing beats the first time. Pure Magic
Yasunori Mitsuda... What a legend. I love how colorful his music is, despite his catalogue being far smaller than Nobuo's, I feel he stands up with him. Wish there was more work of his that I could find.
Listening to these makes me reminisce so much of the past, and how much I wanted to hear these songs in orchestral version. These performances truly make my heart cry, and I can help but smile.
Let's be clear on something. If you are someone who has never played this game before...i implore you...no, i stress that you are missing out on something beautiful. Just a video game? yeah i know...sounds stupid to emphasize something so heavily. But.........we have characters who are so genuine and perfect, the soundtrack? christ, this rivals some of john williams' music in terms of tone, graphics? yeah whatever, you get the idea JUST fine with super nintendo. But, if you're here, you might already know all of what I just said. This is perfection folks, have a good look. The best game ever made in my opinion. Everything is there. (sorry for being lengthy)
The solo violinist near the end is a complete boss. The percussionist is his brother from another mother. This epic music comes from the greatest story ever told!
This is the greatest orchestral arrangement for a video game EVER, and I don't see how can it possibly be topped. The ending transition from the magus theme to frog's and then Frog's theme, Chrono Trigger and Scars of Life all layered together is too freaking good.
Man this music and the game are awsome. Just got done beating it for the first time on the DS. I wish i could go back in time and tell my younger self that he is missing out on a wonderful SNES game. I hope younger generations get to experince this game and the tale it has to tell. Long live Chrono Trigger !
this makes me smile so much, reminds me of those old days of forgetting to save, getting home from school just wanting to see what happened next, these guys did such a good job bringing back memories
I wonder if those artists have ever played the game... They all seem old (no offense intended) yet play this as if they knew exactly whats behind this whole soundtrack. This is by far the greatest video-game music orchestra I have ever listened to.
these "time wasters" for children shaped me into how i perceive the world today. every main hero from every rpg were my role models. Empathy, discipline, courage, dedication, respect, and resolve to finish what needs to be done. actually, it sounds like attributes adults SHOULD have. i guess whats why when an adult comes along with them, they're considered a 'hero'
Seems like orchestrated Chrono Medleys are a dime a dozen these days, but this one really stands out, imo. I love everything about this arrangement. Peaceful days was especially beautiful.
I understand what you mean it has had a great impact on me as well. I don't believe there is a word that could define this music and do it the justice it deserves.
The Drummer Reminds Me Of Mick Fleetwood! They ALL Performed So Beautifully! Such Emotion If More Muscians Played W/ More Emotion Maybe Together We Could Change Thee World, Music is played thee way it is Felt w/o That Feeling You Wouldn't Have Ever Had Such Pieces Such as This! Thumbs Up If Anyone Agrees'!
I honestly think they won't feel like as if it's slumming at all :) The piece by itself is very respectable and quite complex. It's not just some background music, it's a incredible score that took a lot of skill to write. I think any musician, whether a gamer or not, will appreciate playing such a piece :)
I don't know about shipping outside of Germany, but here is what seems to be the official online shop: www.spielemusikkonzerte.de/shop/ I myself bought my copy at the Cologne Symphony.
"Gale" wasn't one of my fave CC songs, but always kinda had a soft spot for it. Adding Rony Barrak's doumbek gave me the perfect reason to love it completely now. That doumbek is what was missing from the song. With a 9/8 rhythm like that, ya just gotta have doumbek! XD
Cool, I'll check it out. I've heard of it before but haven't gotten around to it. I was mostly talking about the big multi-million dollar projects. The big AAA titles... they've been watered down from a gameplay perspective to make more room for narrative.
I was there! \o/ Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy were my favorite parts (I was sitting in the 7th line - let's see if I can see me in these vids somewhere^^)
Both Chrono's are beautiful actually. Canonically speaking, CC is in fact the sequel to CT regardless of the fact that CC basically gives CT a bad ending. Chrono Break should've finished the story if Square pushed through with it.
i didn't played chrono cross, but Chrono Trigger it's a pretty and beautiful game... for that time this is a masterpiece... Chrono trigger is almost the all time best RPG of all time. not for the battles, but the story line, the endings, the characters have charisma.
wundervoll, würde ich in umgebung köln wohnen hätte ich mir auf jedenfall tickets geholt, dann würd ich es jetzt auch nicht bereuen schlag den raab anstatt diesem meisterwerk geschaut zu haben. Aufjedenfall danke für die uploads :A
It is surreal to see old and extremely professional musicians playing songs from your childhood favorite game.
It is correct to see masters of their crafts honor a timeless piece of interactive beauty. No pun intended with the 'timeless' thing
RIGHT? i feel u
the craft of classical music has took a turn this last centuries, it still exist, yet you don't realize it, movies and video games. these are the places classic music survived.
They look so annoyed too. "I didn't study under the great kcorishnicogfff to play this!?!"
These were glorious days my friend.
Brilliantly arranged
Everytime I see your comments it makes me appreciate your channel more.
To see all the elders use all their skills to play a videogame's medley
Man, generation's touch right there
A lot of people don't realize that many of the composers who write music to these games are indeed real composers who work for video game companies. Koji Kondo is a perfect example.
It might be a video game but the music follows the same rules as would a Beethoven music sheet does. Music is very universal.
These games just have truly artistic music that's all and they realized it :D
I dont see the distinction of the music at all. This is real fucking bliss to listen to the work of Yasunori, very beautiful songs not to be treated as simple entertainment for youngsters of old ages ahahaha. But nice perspective BTW
Love the drummer guy! He's into it and loves every second. That's how it's gotta be!!
I HAD to look this up because I've seen him in other videos too. He's actually kinda famous. Rony Barrak's his name? He stands out so much because he's always so enthusiastic. Love him!
SchwamGamers He is an Arab. The drum seems to have some special place in the Arab culture.
screw the conductor, hes the one keeping the tempo
@@優さん-n7m Lebanon ♥ The drum is carried in the blood for us! greetings!
I am the opposite I wish I could forget I ever played this game so I could play it again like it was the first time. Nothing beats the first time. Pure Magic
That drummer is so passionate xD
He's loving every second of it >_<
やっぱりこのアレンジが一番好き
This is probably the best rendition of Time's Scar that exists.
+Snake Plissken yeah so many other "orchestrated" versions just don't get it
Yasunori Mitsuda... What a legend. I love how colorful his music is, despite his catalogue being far smaller than Nobuo's, I feel he stands up with him. Wish there was more work of his that I could find.

Hello little time capsule, I hope you are well.
@@drewtweedie7408 I'm doing well. Feelings of bittersweet memories just get stronger as I get older. Thanks for checking, hope you are well.

both chrono games****** but trigger more so**** sorry.
MarlboroShinobi I with you mate!
Hands down best game ever
@@Nocturno300 Legit the ONLY way to do time travel that doesn't feel like a gimmick.
The solo violinist near the end is a complete boss. The percussionist is his brother from another mother. This epic music comes from the greatest story ever told!
One of the best soundtracks ever!
Love this. And kudos to that percussionist, he had the vibe down!
That Asian gentleman is absolutely slaying it by himself. He's on that beat!
I was there, it was bloody brilliant!
seriously how can you not see this as the score to a motion picture...one day hopefully in my lifetime I will witness it...
one day.
This is the greatest orchestral arrangement for a video game EVER, and I don't see how can it possibly be topped. The ending transition from the magus theme to frog's and then Frog's theme, Chrono Trigger and Scars of Life all layered together is too freaking good.
so glad i went there, live it was even better, such an awesome performance
I teared up during 4:21 - 5:25. :')
Best medley ever~
good morning Chrono :D

You people the whole orchestra you are my heroes; such amazingly astounding talent
who ever made these arrangements is a god
every time I listen to this, I cry from happy memories
I cried listening to Scars of Time LOL. Beautiful
Why can't most orchestrated game music be this beautiful
so glad it's not just the old cell phone camera version :D
these "time wasters" for children shaped me into how i perceive the world today. every main hero from every rpg were my role models. Empathy, discipline, courage, dedication, respect, and resolve to finish what needs to be done. actually, it sounds like attributes adults SHOULD have. i guess whats why when an adult comes along with them, they're considered a 'hero'
Finally an orchestral performance with a decent recording!
It's amazing to see how much Arnie Roth has made his career just conducting video game scores.
I saw this yesterday at the barbican, I had to find it again. It was pretty fucking amazing.
Such precious memories...
you're right ! i think that's the best arrangement they can do !
wow think this is the best chrono trigger medley ever.
this is just soo brilliant !!! outstanding !!! remarkable !!!
Amazing job!! Thank you for posting this on youtube!
Perfect symphony, I love symponhys.
Chrono Cross and Trigger FTW!
I love this so much.
Seems like orchestrated Chrono Medleys are a dime a dozen these days, but this one really stands out, imo.
I love everything about this arrangement. Peaceful days was especially beautiful.
I understand what you mean it has had a great impact on me as well. I don't believe there is a word that could define this music and do it the justice it deserves.
einfach wunderschön
I´m actually playing this game for the first time, and just like you I'd like to go back in time and tell myself about this jewel!
Epic musical tribute to the single greatest video game rpg ever!
This is so awesome. One downside, I really, REALLY hate it when music stops when it's not finished yet.
The CC Music is so amazing. I got nerd chills listening to the Prisoners of Fate-> Scars of Time part. So amazing.
My god this is beautiful
The Drummer Reminds Me Of Mick Fleetwood! They ALL Performed So Beautifully! Such Emotion If More Muscians Played W/ More Emotion Maybe Together We Could Change Thee World, Music is played thee way it is Felt w/o That Feeling You Wouldn't Have Ever Had Such Pieces Such as This! Thumbs Up If Anyone Agrees'!
@Poskusin which is why I specified the time period before they saw the sheet music or heard it in any form.
Agreed !
It was really awesome !
3:50, the lower strings are very Mahler-like! I'm pretty sure that's an unintentional Mahler 2 reference.
This is LEGEN...wait for it...DARY! My childhood in one music! It's unbeliveble!
@Syouke It's not about getting to hear it as is in the CD exactly, it's about faithfulness to the original work.
I LOVE scars of time!!! And Frog's theme!!! AND EVERYTHING ELSE TOO!!!!!
I LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!! STRAIGHT TO FAVORITES!!!!!!!
I honestly think they won't feel like as if it's slumming at all :) The piece by itself is very respectable and quite complex.

amazing....
@KajunW I bought the OST in Japan, put it in my computer and on iTunes it's written Hurricane.
Music of the HEAVENS!
There also have been two performances in January in Japan and one in June in Stockholm.
Very nice.
1:20 - 1:50, that transition between the violin solo and the rest of the orchestra stops my heart.
@MultiLYT Rony Barrak. A great Darbouka Player and an excelent soloist!
I am SO GLAD I bought the CD of this concert.
Brie where can I buy it from?
I don't know about shipping outside of Germany, but here is what seems to be the official online shop: www.spielemusikkonzerte.de/shop/
I myself bought my copy at the Cologne Symphony.
Amazing!
damn that time's scar is fucking amazing
According to a German message board, the orchestra manager of the WDR confirmed a CD release... but no firm release date yet.
That guy on the drum is such a beast.
They really seem to dig the music, that's awesome.
amazing !! fantastic!!!
I was there too :3 line 29 =D suuuch an aaaawesome concert
so cool, hope you had a great time
Moved me to tears :)
It was truly worth travelling the 1500km!
"Gale" wasn't one of my fave CC songs, but always kinda had a soft spot for it. Adding Rony Barrak's doumbek gave me the perfect reason to love it completely now. That doumbek is what was missing from the song. With a 9/8 rhythm like that, ya just gotta have doumbek! XD
A love the violinist's expression at 1:55.
This video comment section is like a museum
Cool, I'll check it out. I've heard of it before but haven't gotten around to it. I was mostly talking about the big multi-million dollar projects. The big AAA titles... they've been watered down from a gameplay perspective to make more room for narrative.
this made my day =)
2:40
LOL. When I saw the john travolta drums guy again, I started laughing. He's always so into it lol
I could've been there in the audience that day but I didn't even know something like this existed until now 8(
What!?!?! John Travolta's in this one too!?! He must really love Chrono Trigger!!!
Why not? Chrono has some of the best game music ever.
I was there! \o/
Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy were my favorite parts (I was sitting in the 7th line - let's see if I can see me in these vids somewhere^^)
so cool!

6:17 what you came for
I just Will say... AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been to Smyphonic Legends this year,it was great,although I wish I would've been at Fantasies
bravo!
Chrono Cross...that game that made me love violins
Flamenco drummer stole the show
That is not a flamenco drummer. It sounds arabic.
He is playing the djarbouqa, which is an arabic instrument.
rony barrak?
I think the cameraman was in love with him. Him stealing the show seems forced on us.
He's hired on as a solo player and thus gets bigger credits than the orchestra members.
wundervoll, würde ich in umgebung köln wohnen hätte ich mir auf jedenfall tickets geholt, dann würd ich es jetzt auch nicht bereuen schlag den raab anstatt diesem meisterwerk geschaut zu haben. Aufjedenfall danke für die uploads :A
really a pros performance!!
goosebumps
and long live for Chrono Cross !!
The tamborine solo was amazing.... No. Seriously I want to cry when a remeber me playing this beautiful game T_T
nice arrangment
Man. To think that a lot if not most of these musicians have no idea where all this music of the gods comes from.
3:50 the bassline here is from to Mahler's resurrection symphony.
interesting use of classical reference
Great words, man
