I think this is done on very good samples rather than real instruments, but the fact that it is hard to say shows that they are indeed good. I wonder if there could be a little more variety in the arrangement? In the original, the vocal sound cuts through Bach&#8217;s keyboard figuration, but here the timbres of the two instruments are quite close, so it might be nice to provide a little contrast by letting the cello have the melody for some of the time. Also there could perhaps be a little more dynamic contrast I feel&#8230;. most of it sits in the middle of the dynamic range, and yet there is room for some nice crescendi and sudden softs too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>I think the lower notes on the cello part could benefit from some subtle EQ as they are a little boomy at times. Also the quantisation of the parts is quite tight, and freeing it up a bit might improve the phrasing, and could in particular improve the expression of the cello part. Perhaps, if the cello isn&#8217;t getting the tune, the violin could be set slightly higher in the mix too, and maybe the whole lot could have a bit more reverb on, to create a more celestial ambience.Nevertheless, I did enjoy it, and it would be an excellent introduction to this sort of music for a wider audience.ThanksRob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadjam Artist: N.Jones, Protilius ProductionsSong: Ave Maria (Bach Acoustic Cover, 2018)Reviewer: rob colleyPositive Comments: This is a nice arrangement, and it works very well with violin and cello.
