Final Fantasy fans, get ready for more orchestral recordings of your favorite soundtracks! The Distant Worlds concert series has sent out word that the Distant Worlds II: more music from Final Fantasy album is now available for download. All 13 tracks are available for just $9.99, and features the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Arnie Roth, with solo performances by vocalist Susan Calloway, harpist Laura Stephenson, guitarist Per Skareng, guitarist Oskar Ekburg, and of course Nobuo Uematsu on organ with his Earthbound Papas band.

The best part for audiophiles like me? You’re able to choose your preferred download format! You can get the album in 320kbps mp3s, Ogg Vorbis, or lossless formats such as FLAC and ALAC! I’ll probably opt for FLAC myself, but I still intend to purchase the actual CD when it goes on sale starting June 1st. I’m just that thorough.

For this week’s edition of Friday Night Concerts, I’ve decided to dig up something from the Final Fantasy series. The above video is supposedly from the Voices – Music from Final Fantasy 2006 concert, a concert held at the Pacifico Yokohoma Conference and Convention Center back on February 18th of that year. That concert and this particular piece were performed by the Prima Vista Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Arnie Roth. There’s an official DVD of the concert floating around, so you might want to track it down if you love Final Fantasy music.

Anyway, this video is of “Liberi Fatali,” the epic piece from Final Fantasy VIII. I’m actually hoping to hear it live when I check out the Distant Worlds concert in less than a month, so I’m crossing my fingers that it’s on the setlist. There’s already at least one FFVIII piece that will be performed, in the form of “The Man With The Machine Gun.”
