Remarkably shallow crowd, questionable character choices, and on some parts a man can’t do anything but laugh out loud. On 3:26 — This is supposed to sound like a majestic swinging of the bell, amplified by temptation and discrete delay (that imitates the big mass of the bell on The Great Gate). Instead of sounding like that, your “bell” sounds like a four year old is pressing cool sounding notes on the keyboard. I hope this performance was not the last, and I desperately hope someday someone will perform this peace like it was designed to be performed.
