Well, this is the greatest news I've ever heard. Remember Symphonic Legends: Music From Nintendo? Well, it was the only WDR video game music that suffered not getting a CD release (PROMS: That's Sound, That's Rhythm aside). It seem that a new concert is on the horizon, and judging by the CD images of previous "Symphonic _Theme Here_" albums, we can assume a CD release this time.
Symphonic Legends: Music From Nintendo featured music from StarFox, Super Mario Bros., F-Zero, Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Pikmin, Super Mario Galaxy, and of course the very long Legend of Zelda Symphonic Poem (among the opening theme, solo, and encore). A sequel named LEGENDS Stockholm followed, and featured more Zelda music, plus a Kirby tgheme that failed to surface on the internet. As some may recall, the issue with releasing a CD was that there were many IPs, and they could not get licensing to them all.
The new concert focuses ENTIRELY ON THE ZELDA SERIES, which is why I am here. I grew to like the WDR4 Orchestra, but can deal with them not playing this one. This time, we get the LSO! I am unsure if a CD will be released, but hopefully we get a recording at least. It wouldn't be the first time for Symphonic Legends, nor the first time for the Barbican Center, as seen with the decent recording of Final Symphony her on FFS.

New Zelda orchestral concert Symphonic Legends is coming to London - Zelda Universe (http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/new-orchestral-zelda-concert-symphonic-legends-is-coming-to-the-london/)
While I prefer Chad Seiter's and Kousuke Yamashita's arrangements, I love Jonne Valtonen's and Roger Wanamo's arrangements. I hope Arnie Roth conducts it. Thomas Bocker is also a very good exec producer, as seen in his previous installments in the VG Symphony series.
I am DEFINITELY buying this one!
EDIT: We currently have this: Symphonic Legends Music from the Legend of Zelda - July 13 2014 (http://www.mediafire.com/download/agl6qkqtszhvov6/Symphonic_Legends_Music_from_the_Legend_of_Zelda_-_July_13_2014.rar)
I must say' I thought the concert would be much more spectacular, and have much more new content. The fact that it didn't, can be seen as a good thing, as it isn't much of a loss when taking into account what low quality audio was recorded.
