A tribute to Yasunori Mitsuda's soundtrack for SNES Japanese RPG Chrono Trigger was released a few days ago. Their attempt was to make Chrono Triggers soundtrack to sound like a composition from a movie.
"Chrono Symphonic is a project a long time in the making. Starting from the autumn days of October 2004, and ending in the wintry days of January 2006, it’s been a labor of love for everybody that has been a part of it. Initially designed to be the soundtrack for the long-desired Chrono Trigger movie (no, the movie doesn’t exist and probably never will), it encompasses 18 different artists' takes on the way such a film should sound in an orchestral setting, and many more on how it should look and feel. Never has such an abundance of talent been thrown into such a powerful calling, and never has the game Chrono Trigger, which many of us grew up playing, known so much love."
The real wonder is that, for a fan community driven remix project, they have succeeded in their work. And if you are familiar with Chrono Trigger soundtrack, all the better. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys classical music, performed with or without real instruments.
And the best of everything, it's free.
You can download the tracks with torrent, includes lossless FLAC files, MP3 files and cover art:
