I was an active Project Majestic Mix board member in its earlier days, and thought I'd clear things up.
The producer of this album did in fact contact Stephen Kennedy before the release of Project Majestic Mix's first album (A Tribute to Nobuo Uematsu). He wanted to see if Stephen or anyone else at Project Majestic Mix had any finished tracks to include on this album, and evidently Alexandria (Vivi's Theme) was indeed complete.
So that's how this album has one track that actually does sound like it came from a real orchestra, rather than the annoyingly synthesized one that "performs" the rest of the tracks.
