The piece is arranged by Jonne Valtonen and produced by Thomas Böcker, who are maybe most known for Symphonic Fantasies and Final Symphony. |
wow, a whole symphony? My immediate thought is a quote from Yoko (I forget which interview, and I'm paraphrasing) where she basically was talking about how relatively difficult she finds it to compose music outside of the usual VGM paradigm i.e. Game Director wanted so many minutes of a theme, to which she's like "sorry no can do, I can give you this many minutes but no more!"
However this is still faaantastic news and I would love to hear how she overcame such a challenge. The short piano reduction sample at the bottom sounds great - and performed excellently by the pianist (Mischa Cheung).
