Some really good moments in there and generally well produced.
Overall - a good orchestral listen with plenty of variety!
Few elements that I wasn't sure worked 100%...
Rhythmically the ostinato string patterns seemed a little bit stilted...more velocity variation needed? maybe it was just the repetition itself...needed to be slightly varied each time in terms of velocity?
Choir sound didn't quite cut it for me...maybe a 'legato' patch might've been better? It's a little 'separate' in terms of the flow from note to note and sounds a little thin compared to the orchestral parts...less so in the final section?
Solo violin sections - the very highest notes of the instrument can be incredible in the hands of a great player, but can be very tricky to handle with even the best sample libraries....quite exposed here , but then I'm an orchestral player so I'm always comparing it to the real thing!
Melodically, there are some good moments, but for me, overall the tunes here didn't quite flow at times...possibly a few many notes in certain phrases maybe?
'legato' patches in general...brass and strings...are you overlapping the notes for those smooth, natural transitions?
