It's 18.00 pm here right now, meaning the live stream starts in two hours. WDR = German Public Broadcasting. They should have enough bandwidth for everyone.

Wow, this is excellent! Any idea on how long they'll be playing?

I had a great time watching the Symphonic Fantasies stream with Jayson Napolitano last year. Good arrangements, live commentary from both of us...I recommend it.

Edit: Off to a strong start. Valtonen's arrangements never fail to impress.

Awesome tracklist!

Hrm, Metroid arrangement was a little out there. Couldn't recognize anything for most of it and the rest seemed kind of sloppy.

Hrm, Metroid arrangement was a little out there.

A little? Completely! They should have asked Virt for the arrangement.

[Dhsu]

This Hamauzu arrangement completely makes up for it. You can tell the audience feels the same way.

[RouWa]

There will be a break after the SMG Galactic Suite. Seems like the Zelda Suite will be quite long.

[Dhsu]

I can't get a video feed from work...is someone actually performing these Final Fantasy arrangements or are they from an official album? They're excellent and I've never heard them before.

Excellent stuff, thanks a lot for the heads-up on the concert, RouWa.

The Serpent Trench arrangement makes me wish Noir were still around.

[Mustin]

Did anyone record the stream?

I think there's some Rapidshares in the Neoseeker thread that RouWa linked. There's always a CD release for these concerts though.
