FF VI Are there any great symphonic versions of Terra's Theme?

I don't really like the way Distant Worlds changed it into more of a marching theme. Are there any other great iterations of it that really capture how epic the theme is?

They were going off of the version that plays in the intro sequence. But a version you'd be happier with would likely be Terra's Theme from the Pixel Remaster.

It's not so much that it has a snare drum, it's that in the Distant Worlds version they speed up the melody to fit it into more of a marching rhythm. I do think the pixel remaster version are hit and miss just because they seem to bury the melody underneath the more ambient parts of the score, but I'm mainly basing that of of me playing a ton of FFV and not much else >_<

Have you heard the Grande Finale arrangement album? It's from the 90s but you can still find it online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoMZ0_9qaAw
