Brandon Daiker of N-Sider has posted an in depth look at the Play! A Video Game Symphony concert in Stockholm Sweden. For those of you unfamiliar, Play! is a world tour featuring live symphonic renditions of music from various best selling video games, including Super Mario Bros, Halo, Chrono Trigger, World of Warcraft , Silent Hill and the Final Fantasy series. The atmosphere seemed to have been much more relaxed than that of a typical concerto, with fans cheering on their favorite compositions and becoming perhaps overly enthusiastic when the perennial fanboy favorite, One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII took center stage, prompting a three minute standing ovation followed by an encore.

Also of note are Daiker’s interviews with Yasunori Mitsuda (composer of the Chrono series and Xenogears/Xenosaga) and Nobuo Uematsu (composer of Final Fantasy and President of Smile Please), in which Uematsu clarifies that he will only be composing the main theme for Super Smash Bros Brawl and Mitsuda announces the release of a Chrono Cross remix album within the next year.
