    Absolutely beautiful. It may have been introduced as rock and roll but he poured his heart and soul into this when he wrote it. I've never heard this played by a full orchestra before. I only wish my wife were alive to hear it. She loved this piece of music. In my home opinion this will one day grow to be a symphonic masterpiece. And demonstrated here, it certainly proved that it belongs in a category all its own. Bravo.

    I love how this has been translated into an orchestral piece - the vocals Queen uses lends so nicely to this form. And I love the viola for something different - it has such a beautiful mellow sound which can also be very powerful!

    Indiana University and Queen. Two of my favorite things. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this version. Well done, Mr. Hersh. You led some great talent and Ms. Harball was fantastic. But then again, this is coming out of the IU School of Music, so I don't expect anything less. Bravo.

    You know what I love about this it incorporated the different styles of Classical Music with what little I know starting with the very classical Violins then the flutes with a touch of Jazz with the Sax or Horns then the William Overtelll/ school drumline feel on the end

    For such a Advanced sounding piece , all the sharps and flats, quite amazing, but what really gives the Flavor is one might call it , was the Splendid Violist, i myself, thought it was lovely,although i am just one person, anyone with fine taste could see, although, I myself was over joyed before watching this because I myself Play the Viola, I'd like to compliment the Intonation of everyone at all times, lost of practice must have gone into this piece indeed.Good Job.

    A friend posted this on her FB page via wimp.com. Blown away by the fact that I had never heard a symphonic version of this song, I searched for any of the biggies' versions of this, and I found London Symphony Orchestra and London Philh. versions, among others, and I have to say your arrangement is far superior to, and certainly more faithful to the original, than either LSO or LPO, and the musicianship is almost as good ...at least to my untrained ear! Incredible effort! This HAS to go viral!

    Nicholas, a truly AMAZING arrangement. None of what is in here isn't authentic Queen, but you realized the vision Freddie had when coming up with it. Parts of this truly sound like they were always meant to be heard this way, particularly the "opera" section. It sounded right out of a Rossini overture! Bravo to you. Brava to the violist. Bravo to the trumpeter, bravi to the orchestra! Do the world a favor and publish this arrangement (if you haven't already).
