Xenosaga Piano Collection -Across the Kosmos- (2CD)

Released in February 2002 on PlayStation 2, Xenosaga Episode I marked the beginning of an unforgettable video game saga created by Tetsuya Takahashi, accompanied by a majestic soundtrack composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. The latter is still considered an essential milestone in video game music. We wanted to pay tribute to these cult classics with Across the Kosmos ~ Xenosaga Piano Collection and Jazz in Kosmos, two albums of officially licensed arrangements featuring the best tracks from the game.

These albums were created in collaboration with some of the most talented figures in Japanese video game music today. It includes 17 piano tracks arranged by Mariam Abounnasr, Akio Noguchi, Hiroyuki Nakayama, and Benyamin Nuss, carefully recorded on a Steinway D Grand Piano, and 8 bonus tracks rearranged by the Jazz band Endgegner!

Immerse yourself in the world of Xenosaga once again with this official album!
