Man, you've made my mom cry! I've been telling my mom (A classically trained musician) virtual orchestra's are reaching very close to realism, and she wouldn't believe me, so I played her this, and it's safe to say she's convinced now.

This is well done and the overall writing and mixing is great! I'm getting some slight Ravel vibes from this!

Karl's compositions should be listened to all over the world, they are of an impressive sensitivity and knowledge!

A masterpiece by all standards. Perfectly recapitulates what makes romantic era and early film music so excellent. Beautiful. And the sound library is great too.

This is so inspiring. I luv it. The Cinematic Series are just the best, and it happens to be BF.

Mate, I think this is the first recording I’ve come across by any composer (professional or otherwise) whose mockup doesn’t sound like a plasticky, MIDI-esque imitation of the real thing. (maybe an orchestration which had actual effort put into it helps, IDK). As it sounds now, this could be an underscore for any big-budget Hollywood production, and I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow. Shows how far technology has come. I achieved some great results with layering CCS and CCS solo, but nothing close to this. I would actually pay money for an in-depth tutorial on how you produce. Do you input the instruments one by one by hand (by that I mean keyboard) into the DAW?

This is insanely detailed and beautifully produced. I feel like transcended to heaven while listening to it. Bravo!!

[uncle-ed]

Excellent composition, excellent mix, excellent everything. Bravo.

[LouieTaylorMusic]

The midi programming here is absolutely stellar! The strings are especially convincing which is such a rarity in sampling. beautiful composition and mixing too!

[j.r.rothenbusch]

Wonderfully crafted piece! Really like the reference to Ma Mére l'Oye in the end.

[coroscocoroquense]

I have no words to describe how beautiful this is...

[kwameryan]

A wonderful showcase of Cinematic Studios' products bro.... beautifully composed, orchestrated and programmed but mother goose definitely wants her golden ending back... 😊 That said, M. 25 is quite the silky swoon(!) and that's all you. Awesome.

[fasanov]

Amazing! The layering on the strings really sells them big time. The percussion sounds really nice too. Awesome programming and of course composition!

Why does this not have a million views, Youtube?

[AMoorkens]

This piece is just... wow, no words for this inspirational composition, it has a very fairytale-like feel and very romantic with a very pure melody. The end feels very inspired by Holst; The Planets; Venus. This is a very fenominal piece of music for this time period. Make sure to keep striving!

[winknotes]

Just discovered your channel through VI forum. Fantastic pieces you're writing and as many others have commented on the expertise you display. Great writing, orchestration and performances.

[rgferreira]

This is really a powerful source of inspiration for every composer out there. Thank you for posting this.

[shubhodiproy]

This is beyond amazing. I'm speechless.

Wow, beautiful, this piece really does justice to Cinematic studio series.

Very nice sound, listening on phone. I like your motive work. Good mood throughout, and start to finish structure. Thanks!
