Final Symphony II – recording of world premiere – MP3/320

Audio recordings of the world premiere of Final Symphony II performed on August 29th 2015 (yesterday evening while writing this) in Bonn, Germany at the Beethovenhalle by the Beethoven Orchester Bonn.

Recording was done "secretly" with a mobile phone, but I think it turned out pretty well for such a recording, format and quality is MP3/320 kbps.

1. In a Roundabout Way – Fanfare
2. FINAL FANTASY XIII – Utopia in the Sky
3. FINAL FANTASY IX – For the People of Gaia
4. FINAL FANTASY VIII – Mono no aware
5. FINAL FANTASY V – Library of Ancients
6. Encore 1 -Battle on the Big Bridge, Chocobo
7. Encore 2 – Final Fantasy Main Theme
Total runtime: 1 h 35 min 23 sec

The first encore was very funny, it begins with Battle on the Big Bridge from Final Fantasy V and the person screaming "Hey" in the middle of the song is the conductor who pretended to be upset about the person playing the tuba. The tuba player pretended to fool around a little and all the other musicians to not know whats going on and looked puzzled on their scores. Then the tuba player began with the Chocobo theme and when the crowd started to clap the conductor always made them stop but in the end he pretended to give up and they played a funny mix of Battle on the Big Bridge and the Chocobo theme 😀

I hope the makers of the Final Symphony series don’t mind, since such a recording is in no way a replacement for a real concert (and the coming ones I heard are already sold out for a while anyway) or album I don’t think sharing such a recording causes any harm. But mor importantly having a chance to listen to the concert again is just essential to realy understand the great but sometimes complex arrangements and it is realy hard to recognize all the themes and understand the way they are sometimes combined. Since it took them long enough to release the album for Final Symphony I, I want to give people who attented the concert a chance to analyse the arrangements more, if they wish to do so.

The idea of the Final Symphony concerts is not to play the themes as close as possible to the OST like the Distant Worlds concerts, but want to go a step further and arrange the themes like in a classical symphony and tell the stories from the game. They also use no big screens like Distand Worlds and other game concerts do, they only want to use music to tell the story.

Thanks！

many thanks for the link!!!

You can ask for thread title changes here: Thread 125512 🙂

Great!!!

can you send me this link, pls :kirbyinhale:

🙂

if you could please send the link that would be fantastic. thanks!

Sent a pm. THanks again =3

you’re allowed to post download links man, it’s okay

My own recording has issues with clipping at the deep drum parts. Didn’t expect it to be so much louder than in Wuppertal. The overall level is good. Not much white noise to hear. But that clipping…

The strange thing is, that I’ve no spikes at the parts that are clipped (in Audacity). The difference after using all kinds of declipper software was exactly 0.

Maybe it was a bad idea to activate the integrated limiter.

So I really hope yours is better than mine. Would be nice to get the links.

EDIT:

with a mobile phone

… or maybe not better. I did use a Zoom H2n.

please send me the link thank you 😉

can you send me the link? thanks!

ich bitte um einen link!
super envious since i never heard that there was an announcement for this one here-.-

so no one has recorded it on the radio? usually the do a live on radio so thats what makes me wonder about it this time.

Streams und/oder Radio gab es nur bei Veranstaltungen beim WDR in K�ln.

Could you please send me the link too? 🙂 That would be awesome!

Attended the concert live, it was absolutely fantastic.

re-ploads download !

Can you send me a link? Thanks!

Can I have the link too please ?

May I have a link? THANKS!

Hello !
May I have the link please ? Thank you ! 🙂

Can I get the link please? Thanks

Thanks. :3

I am interested too! 🙂

Thanks!

Hi, to everyone requesting the links here, could you please just send me a pm, this way it is easier to keep track who I already did send them 🙂

Also it seems that I can’t send a pm to some people, I guess because they are people with newly created accounts? What are the requirements to receive (and send?) pm?

As you said, I can’t send you a PM.
So I do a request to add you as friend. I suppose that’s ok next to write PM.
I hope so ! 🙂

Thanks. 🙂

Also sent a request to add you as a friend as I can’t send you a PM either. Hope it works then.

Adding to friend lists doesn’t seem to help, I just could send messages to crazyboko1 after raising his reputation, didn’t work in case of Ceresta yet though, maybe just write a few more nice posts 😉

It seems you have to write at least 5 posts until you can send PMs (whoever made up this weird rule).
If this is right I should be able to PM you right after this post, let’s see what happens…

Edit:
Now it works, I guess you have to write at least 10 posts.

Or two for me ! 😉
Thanks anycase !

still not sure what I need to do to be able to send PM’s haha, I read the FAQs but it doesn’t say anything about a minimum number of posts, anyway I’ll come back once I’m able to PM you

It’s totally weird, right? I suddenly was able to send PMs after I had exactly 10 posts, but it seems this doesn’t work for everyone. I’m sorry. 🙁
I also read the FAQs and looked around for answers in the forum (where I read about the number of posts you suppossedly needed), but I still don’t get how this works…anybody, please explain.

re-ploads please !

I’d like a copy, I loved the first one 🙂 thank you in advance!

edit: my bad I misread the thread, apologies! Forget what I said.

I can send PMs now! it took like 1 hour after my 10th post

Thanks 🙂

Send the link please?

Can i have link pls?

Bitte sende mir den Link, das PM System dieser Seite ist ja mal voll f�r’n Arsch :/

Can i have link pls?

I can’t send you a pm right now, I guess you need to write a few more posts first.

You could send the link? Please.

Thank You…

can i have the link please? 😀

Can you send me a link, please :)?

^^ mucke, seems PMs doesn’t work as well for this, attracting too many newbies 🙂

the rule has always been 5 posts, but I have a feeling the admins might be enabling the accounts for pm manually or so and maybe they switched to 10…

oh, and very nice listening to this 🙂

Can you send me a link please ?

Thanks in advance everyone !

Please send me the link..

Many Thanks

I put the links now in my first post, since now I don’t get that many pm anymore I think that it is safe to do so without running into trouble with the file hosters 😉

Was fun to check my pm all the time the last days and thanks for the positive feedback, glad that the audio quality turned out that well and people like that lind or arrangements as much as I did, please Spielemusikkonzerte make sure this gets out as an album sooner than Final Symphony 1 did 🙂

Thanks!!!

Thanks so much! Great arrangements in these concers~

I really REALLY REALLY wish they would release an official one soon …

Thanks for the upload

Thanks for the upload. It was really great to reminisce about an awesome concert. These concerts get better each time they arrange a new set of games.

I emailed Mr. B�cker about an official release. He said that he really wanted to make one, but they did not yet have clear plans because it is so expensive to do a proper recording.

So its getting closer.

And finally, it’s a question we get all the time: will there be a Final Symphony II album? Of course we are eager to record one, and while at present there is no official confirmation, we are very keen to make it happen – watch this space!

In my memories: for Final Symphony it startet the same way.

And now we have a digital album on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/final-symphony-music-from/id965183547), Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TYMD07K/184-1942228-8000814?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0) and Google Music (https://play.google.com/store/music/album/London_Symphony_Orchestra_Final_Symphony_Music_Fro ?id=Bqlirsvx3q4gjruzsfdkjlv65jy) to a very low price ($/€ 8.99) for 95 minutes orchestra music. I did expect something around 20 to 30 bucks for it.

To shorten the time of waiting, I will present my listening from the world premiere in Bonn. I really hoped someone else would have a better one, as this one has some strange clipping in it. I’ve tried some ways of declipping, but they all failed completely.

But remember to support this fantastic music, when an album gets released.
