I pray one day symphony x plays live with an orchestra

Triumphant Champion of Ithacaaaaaaa!

[@ferdinardos]

Champion of Europe ,haha !

[@scottdunn2178]

Michael Romeo should be doing soundtrack work for Hollywood. It's cool enough when a Progressive Metal band interprets a classical or baroque piece... But, to have a symphony interpret a tune by a Progressive Metal band... Now we are getting into truly epic territory. This is sheer and utter brilliance.

[@nicolasmartin.exchanger]

"arrangement Ben Mathot" - he's the violinist in Ayreon :D

How about... absolutely brilliant. you did service to one of the best songs ever written. thanks ? I can't argue with that comment, it's an epic orchestral arrangement, as is The Odyssey album.

[@DarKodama]

Oh god, I would have loved so much you performed the whole song. But it's been AMAZING. So amazing.

[@rieeesss4120]

your video has been shared by Symphony X themselves!

[@UpIrons777]

Has Michael Romeo from Symphony X heard this? I am sure he would be impressed.

[@krickerd]

Excellent! My favorite part starts at 3:52. You get the feeling that it is the moment he first spots home after all those years.

[@jakkeblakk]

Wow! Really brilliant work here!

[@chanchitoschnitzel1368]

Dude. I cried... Wonderful!. I cannot understand... 6 people dislike this video?! Why... Did you need a hug?!

[@espenstoro]

All these years and I've never heard this? Wow! Great version of one of my favorites.

[@Galeryn218]

I'm in tears, thank you for this.

[@LucasBarnery]

Amazing, this video it's absolutely amazing

[@jamiethomas3122]

I've been waiting to hear an actual orchestra play this masterpiece and im not disappointed! Great job!

[@haribaldo2645]

Almost crying here.

[@jurekro]

oh my god! I was so waiting for this! An orchestra ripping of a conver of this song! Astonishing arrangement and well played! I really liked the replacement of guitar by violin. I guess it would have been too hard to mess with the guitar artistry of Romeo, so to take a different approach was just perfect. I hope that some day SymX will make a live recording with orchestra. I love their songs, but it is different if real people play the orchestra part. You guys are the proof. Amazing! Keep rockin!

[@romjr1602]

I gonna miss Europe, so many beautiful things...

[@AdrasteaOne]

Wow, these kids did a brilliant job. I've always wanted to hear an orchestra perform this piece.

[@tsproav]

Excellent!!😊

[@davidheywood4082]

A lot of this reminds me of Star wars. There are actually quite a few parts that are almost identical in the OG star wars trilogy. Then again that's not at all strange considering Michael Romeo made a 'Star wars suite' instrumental. It's awesome!
