Tracklist:

01. INTERMISSION (Benjamin Nuss)
02. Welcome back & The Greatest Legend
03. THE LEGEND OF ZELDA - SYMPHONIC POEM (36 min!!!)
04. Standing Ovations & Bonus Level
05. ENCORE


I will say the following:

1. Oikonny's Fleet or Space Armada had to be in the Starfox Suite
2. They should have replaced F-Zero with the DK Jungle (solo drum part would make sense in such a suite)
3. The Metroid Suite should have progressed from the dark tone to a heroic fanfare, also Ridley's theme could have been used
4. Aquatic Ambience should have been combined with the Maridia Themes from Super Metroid
5. The monumental Zelda Suite could have been shorter and the remaining 10-12 minutes could have been used for a Kirby Suite and a Fire Emblem Opera

Other than that it was heaven ! I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Symphonic Fantasies and I will definetly buy the CD.
If you love Nintendo you will have a teary eye during the ENCORE (can anyone identify all of the end credits they used, I can only count 8 or 9 themes)
and if you can understand german you will also have a good time between the tracks :)


"When I heared the End Credits of Metroid Prime Corruption in harmony with the Wind Waker Theme in ENCORE and the chor singing NINTENDO in the final crescendo ... just wow"


Enjoy


EDIT: To avoid any further confusion this is not in 5.1, it's an MP3 conversion from the 5.1 WDR Audio Stream (that's just the NAME of the stream, therefore I mentioned it in the description) and I don't upload in FLAC for various reasons.
The Quality should be high enough to keep you satisfied till the CD release.

U gonna upload it as 5.1 also?

The HQ 5.1 was the audio-stream of WDR from which I recoreded the concert. I converted it to mp3 with the best possible quality.

So I guess u recorded it straight to 320 mp3?

Yes but right now this is more than enough. We have to wait for a CD release for the maximum quality anyway.

Wow, this looks like some piece of work! Much apprechiated, thanks!

well u should hear the difference between 5.1 and plain stereo on a 5.1 set.

thank you man!

Thanks .

I liked more Symphonic Fantasies... Thanks for the share, although it's not 5.1 anymore.

I was there, and trust me... It was awesum

Thanks for this kinerfan :)

I'll have to check this out. Thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks. It was epic. I agree with you up ro point 3 (or second 2). I also agree with you about the Fire Emblem Opera, but not just as a piece, but a complete opera. And the Zelda Suite was a bit short for my taste.

I hope you're joking it's 36 minutes long.

I hope you're joking it's 36 minutes long.

Not at all. I didn't felt it that long. I don't want a 3 hour track, but it'll be nice a 45 minutes Suite with more content in it. Something that lefted Final Fantasy like rubbish.

Thanks for the up!

Anyone knows were to get a the ripped video stream version?

Arigato for this~

Symphonic Fantasies was better, maybe because I'm much closer to Square games than to Nintendo or maybe because fantasies were just... much better;). What surprised me here is probably the fact that my favourite track is from Pikmin. Never played it but love the suite. And Rony Barack (I assume it's him) killed another potenitaly good track with nonensical drumming. Thanks dude. But after all it's more than good piece of music, arranges are rich and fun to listen. And I love how the choir sounds. Thanks for higher quality rip.

well u should hear the difference between 5.1 and plain stereo on a 5.1 set.
If it's MP3 now, then it's not split into six channels anymore but only two channels � so no 5.1 but just plain stereo.

Thanks for the up!

Anyone knows were to get a the ripped video stream version?
Yeah, I'd like that too!

Fantasies was better for a much better selection of tunes, for being more faithful to the originals and for a better arrangement in general (in Legends, most of the time was 30 seconds of a recognizable tune, then 5 minutes of deviation, and then last 30 seconds of that same recognizable tune again).

F-ZERO and Metroid have very good soundtracks and the pieces in the concert definitely don't reflect that. It's difficult to believe that both concerts were arranged by the same guy.

Thank You, now we need video in HQ please

thanks buddy!

Thanks klnerfan for the high(er) quality version! :)

It's a (mostly) good concert, but I think the arranger went out of his way to embellish the music more than he had to. Most of the Zelda suite sounds like music from Lord of the Rings and the major Zelda themes are barely recognizable.

F-ZERO and Metroid have very good soundtracks and the pieces in the concert definitely don't reflect that. It's difficult to believe that both concerts were arranged by the same guy.
It's difficult to believe because it just wasn't the case. Last time the only arrangers were Valtonen and Wanamo (co-arrangement on one suite). This time the arranger cast was much larger and included Hamaguchi and Hamauzu, both which have a very distinct style that is of course vastly different from the one Jonne is known for.

Thanks much for the upload! Are these rips from the website stream? That was just stereo, not 5.1. Only WDR's satellite radio streamed in 5.1.

Jonne Valtonen, who worked on the entire concert last year, only arranged the The Legend of Zelda this time, which was unsurprisingly the best one. ;)

Whats up with, "intermission" the first part of it is the song, from 00:01-3:30ish isn't that the final fantasy song, eyes on me?


Edit: Ok, there must be something messed up with the download or something, cause further into the song, around 7:30ish in Terra's Theme starts up. Lol,

The intermission is an interview with Benyamin Nuss, who played the piano on "Aquatic Ambiance" and whose album of Uematsu music just came out.

WOOO <3

Thanks! this looks like some piece of work!

I'm sorry to say it but this is junk. you confertet only the front channels to a stereo mp3. So back left, back right , center and bas is missing. you can here that in the moderation part.
Thanks for the try but you failed.

@ patrick1: Sorry to point out the obvious but I said this was a recording from the 5.1 audio stream and that it was converted to MP3 not that it was 5.1 itself ! My upload speed is too slow for everything in FLAC so I would not be able to share something like that in the first place.

EDIT: Nevermind...

i only made kritiks not insultions. also i thanked for the try to.

mp3 are 5.1 able so i dont see the problem.
i was searching for the 5.1 version. so when you know its not 5.1 why dont you write it in the info like "stero downmix" .
in this case i had 120 mb trafic for nothing.

patrick1 you've made two comments in total, and both have been negative remarks about people's efforts... efforts that you haven't made made yourself.

I'd suggest trying to give some input to the forum before being so instantly critical.

As for my opinion on the concert, I'm agreeing with Zelda Reorchestrated's reviews and saying that the Zelda segment was mostly a shambles, and showed the composer was not a fan of the series to know what should be played and how.

Both Mario suites were good, and I don't know what happened with the DKC suite... at least half of listeners wont even recognise it!

awesome rip and nice editing. by the way: the moderation is out of the track numbering and in 128kbps instead of 320kbps, i like that.
i still merged the second folder into the first and changed the numbering to a complete 18 track order though.

but i'm still dieing to get a cut of the video stream, has noone recorded or uploaded it? :(

@littlesmegger: Sorry, but you just disqualified yourself for any serious discussion. The Donkey Kong Country arrangement is not a suite, since it's based on one specific track, which is "Aquatic Ambience" (Water Music). If you don't know that track you obviously haven't played DKC.

Youtuber user KajunW (http://www.youtube.com/user/KajunW) has uploaded most of them. He's missing Starfox, SMB and the Fanfare for the Common 8-bit hero, though.

That's just being pedantic pointing out my use of the word 'suite'. I personally know where it's from and have completed all three on various consoles, but for most gamers who aren't intense followers of the series, it's far from the biggest track to use.

From that POV they could just play OWA non-stop at every concert, since that's the track that "everyone knows". And you know what? I'm very, very, VERY happy that Thomas B�cker has decided against this concept. Go watch VGL if you want mediocre mainstream arrangements.

EDIT:

Quoting T. B�cker for thruth (interview from SEMO):

Thomas Boecker: I never want to play safe in choosing fan favorites only, and going the easy way with simple arrangements that are as close as possible to the originals, just to avoid making somebody upset. This is not my style, and fans who are attending my concerts know that. There is always room for controversial discussions � just think back to Turrican II at Symphonic Shades, or the whole suite concept of Symphonic Fantasies. There is the risk that certain people might not like it, but I prefer a lively discussion about my concerts over statements such as "well, nice" every day.

Basically, I want to achieve something, I want to set new standards. I think this is what makes us different from a lot of the competition: that we are not a purely commercial production, but are aiming for artistic freedom. This is luxury, yes, but it was a long and hard road until there. No question that we are also following rules of the market; after all, we want to entertain and the success at the box office is necessary in order to continue with the series. However, with the loyal and open-minded fans that we have, we can try some experiments and prove to the world of orchestral music lovers that video game music is much more than movie soundtrack rip-offs and superficial entertainment.

i heartily agree with you, acid! if you want it nice and easy and all the popular themes to be recognizable, there's always video games live, and it's not that i don't also like it. but for example i seem to be one of the few people who loved the metroid suite, the athmosphere was so thickly dark that they really brought the latin lyrics about angst and fear, but also resilience to life. it mostly had a non-traditional harmony as well, bordering on atonality, very rare and courageous for video game music.

@jettjett i know there's the youtube playlist, but i'd like a complete HQ download for the video stream!

ps: i respect that the 'artsy' arrangements are difficult to appreciate for most people, and that's nothing to be ashamed of, i'm a piano player and know a bit about music theory and classical music so it's easier for me to 'get' it.

Thanks for the great quality. =)

I listened to the F-Zero suite and is very good.

wowww very nice thanks!!!!!

Enjoyable stuff. I would definitely agree that avoiding the popular tunes for once is a good move (provided their ommission helps to generate a quality arrangement). With that said, I feel the most well-known tunes are still in there, for the most part. I can hardly imagine someone creating a symphonic collection of Nintendo music and NOT including the main Mario and Zelda themes. For that matter, the Super Mario Galaxy blend was very recognizable, though I think that's mainly due to the fact that the original music is already performed largely by a full orchestra. As a result, it has a similar sound.

However, I also have to agree somewhat on the previous point about the Metroid arrangement. Despite being thoroughly familiar with the series' music, I had a lot of trouble picking many familiar tunes out of this version (I ID'd 3 or 4 for about five seconds at a time). Overall, it just struck me as jumbled - a bit of a cacophony. Still, it's an interesting approach that has a sort of atmospheric style to it, which is something that the series is already known for.

Overall, very nice stuff. I thought the encore was particularly well-arranged. It's always cool to see game music get that touch of "high culture" now and then.

Thx very much for sharing this. Is there any chance we could get a taste of the 5.1 channel version? Think you could upload it as FLAC? Let us take care of the re-encoding? :)

EDIT: And now that I've read the entire thread, I've got to agree with patrick1. Why are you naming this thread as the High Quality 5.1 Audio-Rip when that's clearly not what you're sharing? You're just telling us what you have, not what you're sharing. It can get pretty confusing. At least you mentioned it next to the download links that they're MP3s... but why MP3? Also, like patrick1 said, you didn't downmix the extra channels, you just removed them. That's not a pretty good conversion. Although, if I'm wrong please show me.

Anyway, thx again. I'd still like to see the 5.1 version since that's what the thread is supposedly about...

To avoid any further confusion this is not in 5.1, it's an MP3 conversion from the 5.1 WDR Audio Stream (that's just the NAME of the stream, therefore I mentioned it in the description) and I don't upload in FLAC for various reasons.
The Quality should be high enough to keep you satisfied till the CD release. I though people were familiar with the audio-stream "5.1" and would know that it's not in 5.1 quality but a "good" quality rip from it.
I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. That is all.

Can you at least properly downmix or let someone who knows how to do it if you aren't going release the FLAC for whatever reason? It's not "good" when channels are downright removed.

thanks for mp3 rip (because limited bandwidth, i prefer chose mp3 than flac).Sound is great.

I don't intend to pester anybody, but what various reasons do you have to not upload the FLAC recording besides lack of uploading bandwidth?

I don't upload in FLAC (or download in most cases) when a CD or DVD version of the music is available. It would do harm to the artists and the companies involved. MP3 is good enough to hear if the music is worth purchasing. But if you upload in FLAC most people would not even bother to buy the CD or DVD anymore.
The difference between flac and high quality mp3 is also very small for the untrained ear.
Besides, even if a music score or a concert recording is not available anymore or cannot be purchased at all and I would be willing to share it in flac, my upload bandwidth would make this near impossible.

:objection:
Like I said, I don't want to provoke a flame war or anything but these two statements clearly contradict each other (OBJECTION!!, lol). You just said that you'd rather share the MP3 instead of the FLAC because you don't want to harm the record company... but you're encoding it at 320kbps which is pretty close to what anybody can hear with FLAC.


[...]and I would be willing to share it in flac, my upload bandwidth would make this near impossible.
I think this should be your main argument. No dogfight here. If you have poor bandwidth then there's no bone to pick. Won't trouble you any more on that matter.

What you should keep in mind and what a few of have been saying is this:

Can you at least properly downmix or let someone who knows how to do it if you aren't going release the FLAC for whatever reason? It's not "good" when channels are downright removed.

Peace and cheers. :)

Hey, many thanks for the upload! Looking forward to hearing some F-Zero, Pikmin, Zelda and Mario (Galaxy!). Much appreciated. I hope these guys tackle Metal Gear and/or Mega Man someday. Imagine what they could do with the vast collection of music from each series... :O

@ Zhelkus
He doesn't want to upload it in FLAC. Get over it. Some people...

B�cker wants to take a break after Symphonic Odysseys, so we won't be seeing any of those series covered anytime soon. Anyway, I'm all for a tribute concert for Mitsuda -- with lots of Chrono, Xeno, kirite, Tsuganai, Armodyne, etc., preferrebly including covering the various vocal tracks he did (e.g. Radical Dreamers, Small Two of Pieces, Reincarnation - essentially everything you can find on his 'Colours of Light' album) with either choir or a solo vocalist. Just think about Benyamin Nuss reinterpreting Magatsu's piano arrangement of 'Life ~ A Faraway Promise' from the fan-made CC piano album.... *woahhh*

but except for chrono the fanbase there would be too small. in fact i don't know any of the other games you suggested though i usually know almost everything.

it's so frustrating there's no video stream upload.. it will now be lost forever except for a few lucky guys. if i had known that, i'd have recorded it myself. for symphonic fantasies, several people posted the stream.

in fact i don't know any of the other games you suggested though i usually know almost everything.
None?
You don't know Xenogears nor Xenosaga Ep. 1? CREID doesn't ring any bell?

That would be very sad to hear, since you're missing out a lot of the good stuff he did.

oh if that's xeno then sure, haven't played it though, might try to have a look at the music

Thank you very much!!! Please, if you can, properly downmix it to stereo.

Or give us the 5.1 that you have in a different format.

Hey, nice piece of info, I'll give it a try.

When will the CD be released?

When will the CD be released?
There are strong indications that such a CD is never going to come. Which isn't very surprising, when you consider Nintendo's politics concerning album releases.

... ... ... O... M.... G...!!!! I've heard re-mixes of the Mario Bros.64 Water Song before, but... This... Thank you soo much!!!

Sorry, but you are wrong. It has already been confirmed to be released in September 2011. It should be somewhere between the 17th and the 24th.


... ... ... O... M.... G...!!!! I've heard re-mixes of the Mario Bros.64 Water Song before, but... This... Thank you soo much!!!
Yes, That song is called Dire, Dire Docks.

There is an mp3 Surround Sound format, you know:
MP3 Surround - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3_Surround)

Or maybe this could somehow work:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3_SX

It has already been confirmed to be released in September 2011.
Where? State your source.

Sorry, but you are wrong. It has already been confirmed to be released in September 2011. It should be somewhere between the 17th and the 24th.

The producer said it is unlikely that they can release a CD because of licensing and Nintendo policies. The only thing confirmed for 2011 is a concert, no CD.

Check out their site again. After the concert, they replaced the Symphonic Legends page with the Symphonic Fantasies CD page.

Today (or yesterday) the website is back with the Legends page. The streaming links are gone, but the concert program link is still there; new links show four reviews. But that's not my point in posting this...

Could it be possible that they will be putting the full concert up here to watch?

They already confirmed that they will try to make the concert permanently available in high-quality.

Let me quote Thomas Boecker, who managed the concert and previous Symphonic Game Music concerts,

"It is difficult to predict at this time if a release of the concert on CD or DVD will happen. However, having said this we are definitely planning with making the concert permanently available in high quality in one way or another. It is not going to be lost, and there will be options for fans to relive the concert experience as much as they want. One thing that should be emphasised, too: Symphonic Legends is going to be the first video game music concert that will be broadcast live in 5.1 surround sound."

I believe this update pretty much confirms that they are nearing a date to allow people to stream the concert! :D

This is the best thing that has ever happened anywhere. I'm still surprised that there are no Pokemon arrangements, though.

Thank you sooooooooooo much for this.

Yes, let's hope that this happens. :D

Dude, the BGM in the Pokemon anime is already arranged. Plus it is extremely beautiful and almost never seems to get released on CD.

Great stuff, and thanks for sharing. But 36 min for Zelda is way too damn long.

So Bastard comes to the rescue:
Zelda.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?w1g0r0c391i9pcj)

I've used Wave Pad to split the songs up. First I had to convert them to lossless Wave format using dB Poweramp Music Converter because Wave Pad said the files were either corrupt or not layer-3 MPEG. Then I converted them in Wave Pad back to MP3 at 160kbps.

In terms of the actual splitting up, I tried being strategic - looking for obvious points in the track where the sound dies down to (near) silence. In one case, it just couldn't work because you end up splitting the songs at a point where two songs get merged awkwardly. Nevertheless, I think I did a good job. I used Fade In and Fade Out functions to try and make it sound more natural, nothing fancy.

I end up with 7 parts, averaging about 4:50 per song. Enjoy or go screw yourselves.

[ ] I have understood the term 'symphonic poem'

*facepalm*

thank you very much for upload this great piece of music history, I can't wait for THE LEGEND OF ZELDA - SYMPHONIC POEM *jump bounce* :D

Thanks a lot to the thread starter for the share! I was at Symphonic Fantasies last year, it was just awesome. Sadly I missed the Symphonic Legends this year due too some business travel :/. No idea if they will provide a Symphonic Legends CD aswell, but until they release it (or not) thanks a lot for this Rip! :)

Thanks so much man! This is so convenient! Far easier than the steps I was going through before; downloading everything off youtube with ubuntu XD

Bastard can you repost the tracked zelda suite?

Hello.
I'm new here, so I'm just learning where to look for things on the forums. I found the Symphonic Legends Soundtrack available for download on OSTProject.co.cc, but it's all garbled, and really terrible sounding. I'm not quite sure if anyone said so, but has the full quality been released yet?

What do you mean by full quality? An official release? There won't be any official release on audio disc, thanks to Nintendo.

The only thing that maybe is going to happen is a "remastering" by the WDR of the concert livestream.

So are the links at the beginning the best I can get? Also, is there any place where you can extract 7z files online, because I currently can't download any such applications on this computer.

So are the links at the beginning the best I can get?
Probably. I have different rips on my server, which all have their advantage and disadvantages. Neither of them comes near the quality of the official release of e.g. Symphonic Fantasies.


Also, is there any place where you can extract 7z files online, because I currently can't download any such applications on this computer.
You can't download 7zip on your system? Then why can you download music on your system?

You can't download 7zip on your system? Then why can you download music on your system?
Why CAN'T I? I can download files. I have two utterly useless 7z files on my desktop, and nothing I have on here opens them. That's the trouble with a family computer; you don't get to do whatever you like with it.
Oh well.

Oh well.
I still don't understand you. Just download 7zip then, install it and unpack the 7zip archives. I really don't see the problem.

If you don't have the rights to install anything on the system, just use a portable version of 7zip (google for it), which doesn't need installation.

Alright, I'll give it a whirl.

Thank you so much!

Since Nintendo will never release a disc, would the OP be so kind as to provide us with a FLAC version of this?

Is there a 5.1 FLAC version of this in existence anywhere?

Never even knew this was on here. Thanks again!

Since Nintendo will never release a disc, would the OP be so kind as to provide us with a FLAC version of this?

Ditto

Op is a fag for refusing to provide flac.

What a fucking dingus.

Namecalling him liek that will only make it less likely he would do this...
Thanks for contributing though.

Thanks, really nice music there. 5.1? That would be nice if it's a video I could stream on my Home Theather, but for other devices I guess 320 should be more than enough. Thanks again.

Ha, well if that's the case:

Dear klnerfan, I will TOTALLY BLOW YOU if you upload the flac~

Thank You very much!

gracias muchas gracias !!! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR4kgagcnA7PL3vS9EL8cwDvkVHCa4VU yFWpq58wkYNeMRW0TsM

Thanks for the share! :D really enjoyed this release :D

cheers :)

I sent the OP a message, asking whether he has the original 5.1 stream in some format.

Since he hasn't responded, I guess not.

Did anyone else catch the stream while it was available? Is it still available somewhere?

I listened to it live. It seems to be gone forever, sadly. WDR decided not to release it due to the difficulty in copyrights with Nintendo. There's actually a higher quality recording here (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cn078lec96z1e0z) since it wasn't down-mixed to stereo. (It's noticeably better sounding).
If the archive still has a password, it's primeblue , the name of the original uploader.

Thanks, but actually, the link you posted is mixed down to stereo, at 128. What is the difference? It sounds well, but maybe someone from ASTOST or elsewhere got hold of the original stream, which is lossy (aac?) but 5.1?

Maybe you posted the wrong archive? You mention that primeblue uploaded a lossy version not mixed down to stereo, so that must be the one?

I know, but here's why. The 192 kbps satellite audio stream had 5.1 audio, but was mixed down to stereo by the OP. This recording from me was the internet stream, which was 128 stereo. This is the one that primeblue posted. I'm just not sure if I extracted and rearhived all of the files with the password or not. There's a thread that explains everything here (Thread 80909). Though it looks like Prime Blue deleted the post when the links went down so read this (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f63/symphonic-legends-orchestral-nintendo-concert-live-stream-80083/#post1549382).

Thanks for the higher-quality download link, Link28469! :)

Thank you so much OP!

Could someone please name what the music is that plays from 00.00 - 01.17 of the Super Mario Bros Retro Suite? And which game it is from?

Thanks in advance!

As there is no CD coming I've tried to listen this rip. Was the quality of this stream really that bad? Listening with HI-FI headphones offers a low quality just a little bit above Youtube level.

Yes. Unfortunately, Nintendo music - which is the best music - will always skip a CD release because Nintendo's fucking stupid when it comes to licensing. They must hate money.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the uploding. Seriously Nintendo, why don't you release this gem to CDs? Do they hate money or something?
