Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy Arnie Roth, conductor Pacific Youth Choir, Mia Hall Miller, artistic director Dru Rutledge, soprano Ian José Ramirez, tenor Matthew Hayward, baritone
Fresh off the 25th anniversary FINAL FANTASY celebration, music from Final Fantasy video game. A screen is lowered to project video. Some imagery is quite fanciful, some dull like old DOS screen. The three soloist have beautiful voices. However, English is hard to make out when you do airas. I could use some super title, instead of silly image. Music is more fanfare like. Not bad. All in major chord. Pleasant. Most characters don't look like Japanese: blond hair, blue eyes. I have never even heard of Final Fantasy. Received two tickets from work. Lots of fans in the audience. 1/3 - 1/2 was first time in Arlene Schnitzer hall.
