A beautiful arrangement. I love these pizzicato, on the beat strings, which drives the piece along with the lovely solo violin which seems to glide along aimlessly. Then the cellos come in to accompany it and it all fits together so nicely. At 03-03:20 with the high violin-love it! Well done, I enjoyed listening to that!

This string ensemble is perfect in my opinion. That lead solo violin in particular strikes me in a deeply emotional way, and turns this song into a top notch masterpiece. I love the direction you go with it as well, as it feels free and not so constricted that it can't do what it wants to do. It almost sings -- a truly deep and emotional performance! Excellent work, very professional!

Harmony immediately attracts attention - a very beautiful solution. And the motives are melodious, memorable, very romantic and sophisticated. The violin sounds great!

I can definitely see this in TV and Film. Commercials as well. Nice Job.

Haunting strings producing a sound that is a great tonic for the soul. Very pleasant and well played. This would be great in the right kind of movie.

I love that solo. It has such melodic interest. The accompaniment the second time keeps adding to the whole composition. Great range for the violin solo and the dynamics add such feeling to the song.its a great solo and great musicianship!. Such a lively vibrato. Not a passive one style for the whole thing. Tremendous !

I really enjoyed it. If the instruments were digital (maybe they're not?), then I couldn't tell. I found it to be a moving work, with potential to be used in film, tv or advertisements. Overall, I really liked it!

Sound Quality, Feel, Emotion!

Lovely piece of music. Absolutely love the melody and the style of your piece. The melody is wonderful and the registers where the instruments are playing are very well chosen. Beautiful sound.

Excellent composition and arrangement with an infectious and suspensful melody played by the first violin with a beautiful waltz rythm string arrangement.

A beautiful piece of work

Very nice melody. The movement from one aspect of the theme to another is very smooth. The cadence between the solo violin and the other strings is perfect. The balance of the whole song is excellent.
All the best!
