Nice and light

Not particularly intense, but I like the feel of it. Especially what you did with the timpanis, it sounds very cinematic. It's no Smashing Live, but still good nonetheless!

This was a little lackluster

The string sections were pretty good, however the staccato notes could have hit with a much stronger accent and a crescendo. As they stand they're a little bland and don't bring out the dramatic shift in tone they could. The end result is that the song sounds a little samey. That aside, the piece is well enough mixed and has solid melodic and harmonic structure. It doesn't deviate much from the original.
