One of the highlights of the recently concluded RWC and LIVE 2008 event is a special performance by the Filharmonika Orchestra. Conducted by maestro Gerard Salonga, the 50-piece orchestra played well-known Ragnarok in-game background music such as “Theme of Prontera” and “Theme of Juno”.
Special thanks goes to Gerard and the entire Filharmonika for this first-ever performance for a gaming event. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Charles Rapaport of AmbientMedia for coordinating with me and the LIVE organizing committee and making this idea a reality.

After the great performance, the Filharmonika orchestra played the music to a 100% Pinoy-made CG movie entitled RPG.
Bravo!
Truly awesome and one of the unforgettable moments of the event.

If Level Up is selling a CD of those performances, I’m willing to buy it.
Is it possible to buy Memory of Ragnarok from outlets besides the LU! office?

Listening to theme of Prontera makes you recall all the things that happened in Rune Midgard… Aside from the fact that the game itself has the element of mystique to keep the players attached to the game, the music I guess makes it a lot more memorable. I hope there’d be a soundtrack for this one, as an addition to the memory of ragnarok OST (good thing i was able to get a hold of one during one fo LU’s events ^^)… Long live Ragnarok Online!!
