I'm not sure how many people have been following this, but I thought I'd post it in here anyway. This is awesome news in my opinion. Not only has it further promoted Mr. Uematsu's work, but it may prove to be a very important step up of his music being recognised within the popular classical music scene in times to come. I know very well of Classic FM's often dogmatic and purist view of classical music, so this entry may very well change things up a bit!

But it's not classical music?

You could perhaps class his later work with Arnie Roth as being in the realms of classical music.

Er... why wouldn't it be classed as classical music? :P

Also, listened to this theme this morning, not for any particular reason. As a guy who's never played the games, thats a rare rare occurrence for me.

Listened to ClassicFM ALL weekend waiting it hear it.

Totally worth it

Haha, some of the comments are really short-sighted and closed-minded. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that, though.

Um, really? Number sixteen?

I'm a fan of Uematsu to be sure, but um, there's a lot of really great "classical" and contemporary music out there that trounces Aeris' theme, of all pieces.

Hell Uematsu has written better music.

Yeah. Still can't agree with Aerith's theme as being up on that list very high, but I'd bet it's the only one you could get a solid number of votes for, thanks to the broad fanbase.

this! i suppose the door is open... or maybe it's just more fuel on the fire for those who may be already positively snooty towards the idea.
