All Things Considered, April 12, 2008 - In May 2004, a composer named Nobuo Uematsu joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic for a single performance of his most famous work. The show sold out in three days. In fact, there was almost a riot at the box office when people couldn't get tickets.

What was the music? Uematsu's soundtrack for the popular video game Final Fantasy.

.....

Check out the related stories too. They are pretty big on games.

Nobuo Uematsu is one of my favorite composers. I also like Jeremy Soule ( http://www.jeremysoule.com )a lot.

NPR tends to be one of the better non-nerdy news outlets for "getting" video games.

there are a lot of orchestrated shows on youtube devoted to zelda theme songs.

Uematsu is amazing.

the youtube videos of video games live are better than the npr story, esp the 7 minute cut which was a bit lousy
