Epic to the bone
Hey there, here comes my delayed review. Better late than never I suppose ;)
1/2
The build up at the beginning is great, the listener is able to feel that something is comming, something of large scale. The choirs have this great "pre-apocalyptic" atmosphere, you really know how to evolve feelings, these short staccato strings are telling me that. The part in the middle comes up with great atmospherical setting, I especially enjoyed the part with the horn around 2:10. Just holding the tension for the next loud passage that follows around 4 mins, definitelly a great part and probably my favorite in this piece.
2/2
Now this has some style, I really dig the downfall of your instruments at the beginning. The part after that is amazing (yes, amazing ;D), would sound even better if you had better instruments, but realism beside. The melody of the high staccato violins is quite catchy, you did a great job on building this part overall. There are simply no flaws or parts were I would have said "Naaa, still needs some work". Great choral parts as usual, you really got a hand for those.
Two times 5/5 by me, this is an incredible piece!
