Wow, that gave me chills. I’ve never heard of Colin Frake. What’s the story? I saw he the composer or conductor? What orchestra is this? Has he been around a long time?
I hear overtones of traditional English carols and ballads in that piece.
Thanks for posting this. This is going to be a new acquisition.
I had never heard of him either; but it is nice to hear someone composing and performing ‘real music’, for a change...
Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix who comprise Two Steps from Hell are the composers. The bulk of the orchestral work is Bergersen’s.
When this comes rolling out of my Audio Research driven Magneplanar 3.7is, it is stunning.
This was composed for an e-book written by Nick Phoenix.
That’s also the Sofia Session Orchestra in Sofia, Bulgaria.
