Wun-der-schön. If I did not know that the piece is for orchestra, I would believe this version for chamber ensemble is the original one. Absolutely fantastically played, extremely subtle and poetic. Thank you so much, you made my night!

[ConjuntXXI]

@SorgenkindDesLebens Thanks very much! This is what we try with our "chamber symphonism" arrangements. Actually, for this piece we used de Sachs/Schonberg version as an inspiration, but we added a horn that helps a lot to have a warmer and wider sound.

Magical performance, and immersively uncanny sound quality!

With a nice pair of headphones, the instrument seperation is uncanny and the spatialization of each instrument just make you feel like you're sitting in front of a live orchestra. It's a truly amazing sound experience.

@hunglikehuang Thanks very much for this amazing comment!

A Miracle! I would never have thought this Ensemble capable of such a beautiful performance. I was afraid that it might have sounded a little "thin". It doesn't! I dare say that this admirable work gains in

clarity and looses nothing in colors and lyricism.

I totally agree with you with Patrick it is a sublime interpretation bravo to you for this wonderful work.
