To all Magix listeners and artists,

For my latest music-video I will present a classical piece that I created and performed in 2018. The music starts with a big symphony orchestra intro, then I wait to play the first note on the piano and play my heart out for two lengthy segments with a break in the middle with a big band and symphony orchestra performance. And then I play on afterwards until the finish. I have plenty of quality images of symphony music production and some fun 'classical' images to add to the enjoyment. The video lasts about 14 minutes as you would expect for a classical piece.

I hope you enjoy it ... especially those of you who enjoy classical music.

I give my thanks to all the digital image artists who have provided me with wonderful images for the performance.

'A Classical Dream' (p) 2018 Mark Kostora Remastered for Magix 2025

In a synth studio big or small you can literally live in a dream ... what would it be like to find yourself at a Steinway 9-foot grand piano with a Boston Pops string ensemble along with a "big band" accompaniment? I used the SONiVOX Eighty Eight Ensemble sample instrument along with three instances of the Arturia CS80 software emulated synth to provide extended accompaniment. The "big band" was created not using samples but with two of the CS80s and a signal processing technique. Just a home studio dream ... Nothing can beat the live performances and the full symphony ensembles. But you can tell my heart was really into the piano with all of my dreamed up musical glitter around me ;) Today it's "A Classical Dream".

Hello Sylvio,

Bravo!!! to a very loyal and wonderful listener and artist ... 'A Classical Dream' seems to be never finished. I created and performed this piece over 6 years ago and it seems I am still working on it. I did some extensive remastering of the sound, and Magix Movie Studio 2025 and some great digital artists finally enabled me to turn my visual dreams into a visual reality!!! Thanks again Sylvio for you kind words!!!!

My Best ...

Mark ;)

There is a very contented feeling throughout the piece. The listener can't help but relax and half close his eyes. The piano chiming on top of the waves of synth sounds accompanying the piece work very well. A very fine production and your orchestra is more than close enough to the real thing. The pictures were well chosen and of varying styles. The mastering was fine. A magnificent track well worthy of your labours!

Best wishes,

Philip-J

Thank you Philip,

With all the technical details put into this piece I am so happy that the final result for my listeners is the feeling of contentment and relaxation. That was the real goal of the making of 'A Classical Dream'. And perhaps the sound has given you your own special dreams. I will be looking forward to your next video piece for the Magix community!!!

And my best wishes to you,

Mark ;)
