We asked Jack Wall if there would be a recording on CD, but the answer was that no CD Album of the Concert Event is planned at this time.
Blizzplanet: "We personally think that it could be great for fans of the many games featured on the Concert Event to get access to a CD of the various music compositions played by the LA Philharmonic Orchestra. I can see the copyright implications with the many Game Developer companies and their Publishers, but it could be a great idea if any profit from CDs could be donated to a non-profit organization as a common effort."
Jason Hayes was Blizzard Music Composer, creator of both the World of Warcraft and Warcraft III Cinematic Music intro, and most of the in-game music from both games. For more details about Jason Hayes, read our previous interview with him.
