Video game soundtracks rank alongside classics from Beethoven and Mozart, according to radio poll

Video game soundtracks feature strongly in a recent classical music poll, ranking their composers alongside Beethoven and Mozart.

The listener poll conducted by U.K. radio station Classic FM features 12 entries from video game soundtracks in its 300-strong Hall of Fame. It’s a reflection of the care that goes into composing game soundtracks and a sign of the increasing acceptance of video games alongside other, more established forms of media.
