As a former violinist in a symphonic orchestra I can truly say that being a part of such a group of musicians while playing movie soundtracks etc. is AWESOME. Especially when all the conductor says is "Guys, at this point in the piece it has to sound like the sun comes up! Go nuts!"

[vronelblocker]

impossible almost, to even think all those talented people who existed at the exact same time frame all eventually assembled with their mastered ability and skills while at the same time found a musician who wrote the music and a conductor sound system crew and so on to make a miracle happen right before our eyes .... im just in awe

[MrsD]

Still enjoying this in 2023. I wish more soundtracks let us see it played like this. So SO much talent in that room. It is an honor to see it clearly like this.

Orchestra is the pinnacle of music collaboration in human history

Kein Computer oder Rechner bekommt das hin. Ehrliche handgemachte emotional großartige Musik mit einem Chor aus Menschen. Keine Bits und Bytes, sondern Streicher Bläser und Sänger. Dankeschön für dieses Meisterwerk!!!

[dimitris.p.kepenos]

When you turn on the radio and the crap blasts from the speakers you think that music has been murdered.

Then there is this! That makes you rethink and gain faith that great people still love to make music and thanks to them we can have great music thanks to great people.

This music not only changed my life. It changed my DNA...

[christopheleguen]

A magnificent spectacle for the eyes and ears 😍

[JorgeNeves]

The number of different cultures, experiences, life-styles in the same room doing something together, like one being is... astonishing.

[Alisson_Silva]

It feels like the beginning of those epic movies

Dear Jo; In the past I listened Hans Zimmer because of The thin red line film.
Your way of composing is particular, and great artists who play with you too.
Impressive Percussion, Voices, Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Piano.
God has come down.

Когда я принёс к компьютеру чай, бутеры, хлеб и мёд и уселся для того чтобы начать прослушивание этого оркестра за вкусностями я включил видео и замер. Эти 18 минут я сидел и не отрывая глаз с восхищением смотрел на всё это и слушал это творение божественной человеческой сущности, а когда видео спустя 18 минут закончилось, я опустил глаза вниз и увидел что чай в кружке полный и уже остыл, бутеры высохли, а хлеб с мёдом были не тронуты. Эти 18 минут пролетели как мгновение, словно время остановилось и я перенёсся в другую реальность где прослушал это всё и вернулся обратно. Фантастика одним словом!

This is the best my ears have ever heard!!

I found myself crying several times during this clip.. this kind of music always stirs up something ancient and primal in me.. it makes me feel like my soul is remembering something from hundreds or thousands of years ago.

We live in an age where we can 3D print anything, and yet wood, brass, strings, and the human voice can combine to make make music that not just entertains us, it inspires, motivates us, lifts up our souls and makes us really feel something bey the tangible. I have all the musical ability of a wet rock, and yet my being can tell that this is great work by people who were ment to do this

Thanks to all of you

I love this kind of music!! I'm the only one in my family and circle of friends who does. Classical, new age, soundtracks, scores, native American, chants, Viking, Danish, other cultures, etc. I'm always sharing on my FB, and I know they get sick of it.

[UsxakVladik]

Да! Это действительно эпическая музыка! Здесь Вечность царит над временным, преходящим! Как радостно в нынешнее утилитарное время слышать эти отголоски минувшего, доносящиеся из таинственой глубины древности, властно напоминающие о высшей праведности и негасимости духа! О Вечности! О подлинном смысле человеческого бытия!

[sarakudrna]

As a classical musician from music academy, I can safely say these guys kickstarted my desire for full capacity practice. Because one day, I want to sit in the church with one headphone on, experiencing in real life what it means to create something as beautiful as epic music. Thank you Jo, for bringing real epic music back on stage!!
