I'm going to a Strauss concert this evening, which some years ago would've been unthinkable... but Shimomura and Uematsu really managed to get me into classical music with their beautiful compositions. Many people don't realize how sophisticated video games can be as art, thinking they're just children games

    I see all these videos of orchestras performing VG music, and I'm asking myself:
    Have we, at last, arrived at the point where "serious musicians" have realized that VG music has long evolved from its "Tetris" days?
    Are composers such as Uematsu, Mitsuda, Shimomura, Kikuta, Otani, Hisaishi & co. finally getting recognition and respect which was long overdue?
    Well, we're getting closer to that at the very least.
    Arnie Roth (the conductor), thank you so much for promoting VG music.

    Video game music is like music you hear in a store or in a movie soundtrack, there's no clear separation of it's elements aside from the fact that it is used in a video game. A lot of games use classical instruments, techno, opera, country and even a fusion of these. I get what you're saying, the nostalgia and joy of video games music is something precious to those of us growing up with it. I wouldn't have as much fun in a classical Opera, but then again Opera wasn't a part of my childhood.

    Incredible how music in videogames has became such an important focus of classic music lately -- My piano teacher thinks that the video games OSTs are a waste of great songs, for only few people come to even know about them.
    I Agree to that. Indiferent of being from a game, (Even this one being my favourite) those musics are pure art.
