It was good, but not that great. I heard much better transition in FF music here, just find FINAL FANTASY Orchestra Live January.30 [Jagmo] at 11:00. PS. I don't say this one here is bad, but it missing something, and while listen to this in background I noticed transition.

[@JerseySlayer]

One Winged Angel just isn't the same without a choir, but this is by far the most accurate rendition of Jenova's theme I've ever heard. Really nice work

@@cherrydragon3120 I get a very "alien" vibe from the intro to Jenova.

[@ComicalHealing]

@@CapsuleClub-gf7ms like a meteor shower raining down with those descending notes at the beginning. It is what I always pictured in my head as a kid when I heard her theme even before I knew what she was. And the percussion gets under your skin like an infection. Perfect theme for such a terrible creature, though, someone said evil. JENOVa isn't evil, cause it is a virus, it has no option but to do what it does. Sephiroth on the other hand has the freewill of a human and chooses to continue to follow through with JENOVA's purpose. He is based on one of the interpretations of the biblical nephilem, one that says they were half angel half human, and had the power of the angels and the freewill of mankind, making them very dangerous beings.

[@TunaScroll]

Probably the best orchestral version of J-E-N-O-V-A & Sephiroth’s theme I’ve ever heard!! There’s this touch of whimsicality I get when I hear the xylophones, flutes, and especially the trumpets. It just sounds more adventurous than your average orchestral arrangement.

Okay there are these incredible parts I can't stop playing over and over The saxes and clarinets at 3:18 is an incredible effect, at first I had no idea what it was!! The jenova motif at 5:13 is so unexpected (i think this is what makes this arrangement so unique) I also can't get over how powerful that bell strike was at 6:40 Such an incredible sound, a masterpiece for concert band

Wow! Thanks for the comment! The guy "striking" the bell is actually the arranger of this piece ;)

[@SaraLovelace1]

Yes! The sudden resurgence of the Jenova motif at 5:13 gave me chills! It sounds like it was always supposed to be there, and makes so much sense being there! Best surprise!

[@Leon8937]

And now there's a one winged angel motif on jenova's theme in the Remake. The cycle completes itself.

[@UltimoGuitarist2]

That bell strike at 6:40 got me like =OOOOOOOOOO

[@skyserpent14]

I read this comment seconds before the bell strike and at 6:39 got a wave of goosebumps before even hearing it because of anticipation alone 🤣

[@ComicalHealing]

OMG that slow build into the JENOVA theme, the teasing descending notes. I always envisioned a meteor shower happening when hearing that, so perfect a sound for the "calamity that fell from the sky" And the hints of Sephiroth even before that. This is a superb version, the only thing missing is a choir, but it isn't even needed when the orchestra is this epic.

[@duckyoutube6318]

Discovered this 2 years ago. Still listen to this day. Masterpiece.

So, I have to confess- I was going to write a comment on the FFVII Symphony Medley how I was disappointed that other more well known themes weren't also incorporated (while also understanding that you had a limited amount of time to work with), but then I saw you had other videos. A tear of joy came to my eye. These orchestrations are AMAZING. Better than many of the other recordings I've heard over the years. And, I'm impressed with the acoustics you have in these live recordings! The instrument choices for different themes shows that a lot of thought and care went into these arrangements. One of my dreams as a musician has always been to do a marching band show with the music of FFVII as the theme for the show.
