Shadow of the Colossus Music (live)

Posted by Redundant blogger

This video is the music from SotC played by the Eminence Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra will be performing an event called 'A Night in Fantasia' and tickets are on sale now from Ticketmaster. Hiroaki Yura, founder and director of Eminence Artists said in a press release:

We are really looking forward to presenting A Night in Fantasia 2009 as it's going to be such a huge event, featuring so many wonderful pieces of music, musicians, world class composers and other special guests...

The score of tracks to be performed include AFRIKA, Ace Combat V, Darksiders: Wrath of War, Dragon Age: Origins, Metal Gear Solid, Prince of Persia, Red Alert 3, Shadow of the Colossus and a wide range of anime titles, including Astro Boy (which will hit cinemas in September), Studio Ghibli, Totoro, Laputa, Princess Mononoke, Death Note, Steamboy and many, many more...

I wish I could make it as it's sure to be amazing, but it's a long way from the UK. If you have the chance to attend I would highly recommend it. The concert will be performed at The Sydney Entertainment Centre on 26th September 2009.

Ico

Once every generation a boy is born with horns. Thought to be the minion of an evil spirit, the afflicted but innocent Ico was brought to a deserted castle to be sacrificed for the good of the village's community.

After the villagers bury him alive in a castle tomb and leave him for dead, he is able to break free of his confines; he then learns of a beautiful young princess who is likewise held captive. From there he embarks on a challenging course through the castle ruins to save her and himself.

Shadow of the Colossus

As a lone horseback traveller, your destiny is entwined with that of a lifeless young girl who lies on an altar within a vast temple. The girl is helpless, her soul has been lost and there is only one way to retrieve it

Following a voice from the heavens, you embark on a dark and dangerous quest to seek out and slay the enormous wandering monsters that roam this strange world. Only you can defeat these formidable Colossi, and in doing so, only you can bring life to the girl who lies waiting on the altar.
