Watch the Orchestral Sonic Medley

– February 26, 2009

Sonic Scene Recorded from Taiwan Video Games Live Session

I admit, I have a very soft spot in my heart for orchestral music. It is one of the main reasons why I find the soundtrack to Sonic Unleashed one of the best efforts in the series thus far.

So, I was pleasantly surprised when, inmy inbox this morning, I found a link to a Blognik post yesterday containing a YouTube video. It’s from Taiwan, and it’s from the global Video Games Live tour, organized by Tommy Tallarico.

A couple minutes in, the fun begins.

A concert spectator caught on camera the entire medley performed from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. It’s done by a full orchestra, and it’s quite lengthy…and good. You haven’t lived until you’ve enjoyed the Green Hill Zone theme in non-synth bliss. You’ll notice as you watch below that a brief history of Sonic plays on the large monitors as the orchestra plays.

Now, if only a clean copy of the medley could be recorded to CD…

A big thank you goes out to BlackHawkOmega for sharing the link. If you want to share something with us, you can do so by clicking “News Tips” at the top of every page.

Meh, if only they could stop repeating Sonic 1 again and again… There’s much much much more great Sonic music besides that.

That was strange… And they showed the games to Sonic heroes. Where is Unleashed?

@Werehog: This show happened before Unleashed was leaked.

Absolutely adored it. I too would love a clean recording of this medley, it’s one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I was fighting back tears when Star Light played.

EDIT: OK, I was half right. The actual show was recent, but the movie that played during was made before Unleashed.

That’s your soundtrack for the next game right there.

Uh…they didn’t. >________>

I love how they all went “YAA~” at the time that Sonic usually does it in SA2. And Tallarico in the box. XD

It was good but I’m also tierd of all this, I agree Vrantheo. There’s so much other good Sonic Music they should make remixs of! I want someone to make remixes of the “Knuckles Chaotix” soundtrack.
