Oh yes, Thank you for the wide angle shot of the orchestra towards the beginning! It has been a great journey so far - watching on part after the other and comenting while playing. I just which to see more of the orchestra - more than then front line strings. Anything - brass - wind - drums / percussion. Still: so great to follow along on the adventure of the narrative! I did not got your name, but you are doing great (#narrator).

at 5:36: regarding the score itself, there are quite some similiarities to the Lord of the Rings Score and the Hobbiton/Shire Theme in particular. That moving theme just sounds so familar but it is still great. Just right now, I cannot tell what came first: LOTR or Stardust - but I, honestly, don'T mind. Your performance is so great and combine with the solo player and narration I am really feeling like going through and living a story.
