Welp, seems outside of the pretty huge Castlevania Music Box we have this year, Konami intends to release a two disc collection of arrangements in the future.

So, what composers are you interested in seeing their interpretations of Castlevania music? Motoi Sakuraba and Masashi Hamauzu caught my attention the most.

2nd Disc has Kumi Tanioka, who worked on the very cool music of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Music: Promised Grace
This is probably not the best example, but the depth she puts into melodies with playful instruments, and multiple movements (this song has three different loops) show a lot of talent.  I believe she also did the Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon music.

I can't wait to get these. Can you order them from this sight or do they just list the information here?
What a horrible night to have a curse!

It seems that I, too, will be giving these a purchase.
And then I'll put 'em up on my Radio. xD

Yeah, she did some of the songs for Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon. I think she composed one of my favorite songs from CMD2, a song called "Time of Trial". It always reminded me of a song that could've been in Chrono Trigger.

Hitoshi Sakimoto. I'd like to hear his interpretation of the Library stage in CV4. DO IT

Also more Yuzo Koshiro tunes are nice.

But even without those two, DAMN this sounds awesome.

Holy crap at the song choices, that's a GREAT list of music and very well talented composers. I'm extremely excited for this.
I'll probably be downloading this. :x

Would tou kindly tell me what to expect about this? I mean, all sounds awesome, but I'd like to know who the arrangers are and what is their style before ordering it  :)

Everything comes full circle
