Although I'd really like to hear this with better samples and live players. But don't we all, huh? Tempted to give it a red.
Outstanding and well orchestrated
Shouting 'outstanding' means voting 'outstanding' for me! ;) Very well done piece of music!!!
Wow :)
Dunno why but im not turned on much by this tune, I cant put my finger on it.. It sounds nice it really does its just lacking in that "something"
Good ~but lack in climax
Quite good, but: vibrato of the cello doesn't sound real in lower regions and too little power and dynamics for an orchestral mix
Very good
It's to tame for this kind of arrangement :( and it has some already superior remixes to fight against..
Dude! In my opinion, Glyn R Brown just got competition for the best orchestral piece on the site.
Nice, but too synthie. The last punch is missing...
Good work, great use of the instruments.
It's a cuttie!!!
One of the really unique tunes on this website.
Very french fatale and for that reason I give it full marks as it feels and sounds almost perfect for that "french fatalistic film" style. Impressive work here.
Great arrangement, but the lead instruments sound a bit too unrealistic to me. One of the best orchestral remixes out there. Gábor, csak azért nem adtam rá piros vigyorgót, mert ahhoz igazi zenekart kellett volna megbízn
This is for me the best remix of 'armageddon man'...
Surely good version. Not that 'synthie-like' as others of that kind...
Wonderfull samples! Good work!
Well done but unlike the Firelord piece this leaves me cold
Just beautiful! For me it sounds totally realistic. And the mix is not overdone as some other orchestral picese in here.
Ooh the melancholy! This is beautiful. This virtual orchestra sounds very close to the real thing.
Hard to believe music this great is free.
Not much 2 say 2 thiz : LOVE IT!!!!
Very nice :) Not 100% refined, but it's definitely a keeper.
Is this supposed to sound orchestral? What a perverted approach to try to simulate an orchestra with synth sounds! Arranged well, but the sounds...
Its so beautiful!
I LOVE IT!!!!!! This tune easily make any other game- or moviemusic to crumble into dust..
Amazing.
Absolutely outstanding tune.
Beautiful

It's quite obvious that Endrŏdy has the talent to score for an orchestra. I really like the beginning and the solo cello fulfills the tragedy of David Whittaker's melody, this instrumentation is wisely chosen. While I wouldn't use the harp as bass (2 players needed), I would have gone for the double bass, even solo. I needed to go further into the arrangement, but I believe the best choice had been a piano. At 01:41 the lead is assigned to the solo violin, while the cello plays a somewhat counterpoint part. Classic choice. The style changes a little bit at 02:19, introducing typical 'Tango' style. This is an interesting idea, anyway it doesn't made me musically happy since I expected something else. Anyway there's nothing wrong about. Sometimes I hear the 'machine gun effect', when using the same samples in repetitions but overall the samples are very good. I really appreciated the arrangement and dynamics Endrŏdy shows up here. It's quite classic, which is not everybody's fav, but I can really recommend to take some listenings. I'd like to hear more from him.
