Not exactly a remix. More of a redux or a remaster.

That being said, the orchestra seems to be balanced for the most part. The whole recording is just REALLY quiet. Like, my volume bar is all the way up and it's still quiet. Dynamics would help a lot as well. Swells when going up, diminuendo when descending, etc.

One thing to consider when making an orchestral recording is the pan and EQ of the various sections. Harps are usually located on the left side of the stage, woodwinds occupy the second row of the orchestra and sound from maybe 25L to 25R. Basses in the back and panned hard right, etc.

It's all about the stereo image and creating a real-sounding recording. I hope this helps! :D
