This means that this will actually be the second time a Tomb Raider video game score has been done by an orchestra in London (though it does not confirm what orchestra will be doing it). As somebody who loved the first three Tomb Raider games, and the music that was composed for them, I have to say this has me pretty excited. I'm hoping for the LSO to maintain some consistency with the only other orchestra-recorded Tomb Raider game score, Angel of Darkness.

Loert 2,207 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Very excited about this too. They will also be performing the music live in London at some point, which is something I've always wanted to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,284 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The article is not clear if they are just going to release the original tracks from the game and then record with orchestra only the 'suite' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,207 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 As far as I understand, there will be one suite based on the music from the first three Tomb Raider games (the ones Nathan McCree worked on). The suite will be recorded by a live orchestra, and performed for a live audience as well. I think he said in the announcement that it will be between 60-80 minutes, so a good portion of the music will be included (at least all the main "tunes" I think). 3 hours ago, Gistech said: Natham McCree has hinted on his twitter in the past that it's all getting redone. He has? I don't recall him saying anything specific, just that it's going to be "big". EDIT: I can't read. EDIT2: It says "all classic compositions" but I take that as meaning all the themes, not all of the tracks (which would be a bit of a mess since there are lots of repeated ideas).
