Whoa, this is some intelligent arrangement going on, which can't be said for some of the older mixes of the same theme. The first two minutes hint at the source tune, without just regurgitating it ad verbatim. Good orchestration of the tune throughout. Like what the piano does in the latter half of the mix. This one kept me more interested than Robson's previous works. Good stuff!

Oh, this is lovely. Really. I would absolutely love the sheet music for this. Anyone with a midi music program wanna cook something up there?

This is a great track. I got to sneak peek it a bit back and I love it.

This is a must for all philharmonic lovers out there. Spread out the word, Robson has done it again!

Hey! I was going to say that!

Finally, it's here!

I remembered this one from the WIP threads, and when I saw the yes, I was absolutely elated! Every day I visited OCR with the hopes that it would be posted.

I am a huge Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov fan (Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini = all time greatest piece), and I think this has emulated their romantic style with great finese.

Fantastic. Bloody fantastic.

Whoa.

Jeremy Robson has a knack for fine arrangement. I've listened to his music time and time again, always wondering where his ideas come from. Though I've found some of his instrumentations in the past to possess a bit of trouble, this is a masterful piece.

Hit the nail on the fucking head.

Listening to this, I feel like I should be walking into a 19th century opera house sipping fancy wine and speaking in an excessively-sophisticated European accent as I bullshit my way up the social ladder.

Musically, I liked the strings moreso than the piano. There's a distinct contrast between their sounds which really sticks out at certain moments. The strings seemed to move the piece along as the piano kept things grounded in the original.

Regardless, I love the arrangement. Very professional. You really captured the classical aspect of the source. Needless to say, I am once again blown away by an excellent performance by Jeremy Robson.

Bravissimo.
