Jo Blankenburg - The Architects of Cronos 

As a former violinist in a symphonic orchestra I can truly say that being a part of such a group of musicians while playing movie soundtracks etc. is AWESOME. Especially when all the conductor says is "Guys, at this point in the piece it has to sound like the sun comes up! Go nuts!"

When you turn on the radio and the crap blasts from the speakers you think that music has been murdered. Then there is this! That makes you rethink and gain faith that great people still love to make music and thanks to them we can have great music thanks to great people.

Orchestra is the pinnacle of music collaboration in human history

This music not only changed my life. It changed my DNA...

I love this kind of music!! I'm the only one in my family and circle of friends who does. Classical, new age, soundtracks, scores, native American, chants, Viking, Danish, other cultures, etc. I'm always sharing on my FB, and I know they get sick of it.

Still enjoying this in 2023. I wish more soundtracks let us see it played like this. So SO much talent in that room. It is an honor to see it clearly like this.

We live in an age where we can 3D print anything, and yet wood, brass, strings, and the human voice can combine to make make music that not just entertains us, it inspires, motivates us, lifts up our souls and makes us really feel something bey the tangible. I have all the musical ability of a wet rock, and yet my being can tell that this is great work by people who were ment to do this Thanks to all of you

impossible almost, to even think all those talented people who existed at the exact same time frame all eventually assembled with their mastered ability and skills while at the same time found a musician who wrote the music and a conductor sound system crew and so on to make a miracle happen right before our eyes .... im just in awe

I found myself crying several times during this clip.. this kind of music always stirs up something ancient and primal in me.. it makes me feel like my soul is remembering something from hundreds or thousands of years ago.

A magnificent spectacle for the eyes and ears 😍

Когда я принёс к компьютеру чай, бутеры, хлеб и мёд и уселся для того чтобы начать прослушивание этого оркестра за вкусностями я включил видео и замер. Эти 18 минут я сидел и не отрывая глаз с восхищением смотрел на всё это и слушал это творение божественной человеческой сущности, а когда видео спустя 18 минут закончилось, я опустил глаза вниз и увидел что чай в кружке полный и уже остыл, бутеры высохли , а хлеб с мёдом были не тронуты. Эти 18 минут пролетели как мгновение, словно время остановилось и я перенёсся в другую реальность где прослушал это всё и вернулся обратно. Фантастика одним словом!

As a classical musician from music academy, I can safely say these guys kickstarted my desire for full capacity practice. Because one day, I want to sit in the church with one headphone on, experiencing in real life what it means to create something as beautiful as epic music. Thank you Jo, for bringing real epic music back on stage!!

This orchestra and vocal combination is totally outstanding. The depth, tempo and rythmnatics, vocal mix, is so dramatic. Congratulations for reaching the center of Earth.

The number of different cultures, experiences, life-styles in the same room doing something together, like one being is... astonishing.

Jo blankenburg himself is a masterpiece much respect to all creative musicians like him 👏👏👏👏👏👏

ivan torent, thomas bergersen, jo blankenberg are living legends

Simplesmente fantástico!! MAIS ALGUM BRASILEIRO TAMBÉM AMA ESSE TIPO DE MÚSICA???

Dear Jo; In the past I listened Hans Zimmer because of The thin red line film. Your way of composing is particular, and great artists who play with you too. Impressive Percussion, Voices, Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Piano. God has come down.

Kein Computer oder Rechner bekommt das hin. Ehrliche handgemachte emotional großartige Musik mit einem Chor aus Menschen. Keine Bits und Bytes, sondern Streicher Bläser und Sänger. Dankeschön für dieses Meisterwerk!!!

Amazing ❤

Escuchando desde uruguay!! La mejor musica indiscutible!

Sou Brasileiro Israelense! Escutando essas maravilhas direto de Israel! Parabéns pelo Trabalho! Abraços.

*Jo Blankenburg Ivan Torrent and Thomas Bergersen are GODZ*

From time to time I come back and watch this video. Again and Again! A masterpiece! My favorite parts are "Voyager" and "Nephilim" Every time I watch the lady that sings in "Mephilin", I feel her joy, I feel he passion. I hope that she reads my comments! Thank you Jo, Thank you "lady". You bring me tears of joy

This is the best my ears have ever heard!!

I was going to sleep and just heard this... Now I'm ready for the battle!

It feels like the beginning of those epic movies

An exquisite display of musicianship. Thank you from the bottom of my heart...❤

If I had a week, I couldn't think of a better piece of music. Excellent.

Hola, muchas gracias por compartir., este tipo de musica ase que de alguna manera mi cuerpo se conecte a diferestes lugares conosidos con mas entusiasmo y ase que mi imaginacion vuele mas, saludos y bendiciones para todos ustedes. saludos desde Oaxaca Mexico.

This is what great/awesome music sounds like.. not the so called music people listen to everywhere.. Nothing sounds as good as music like this

Beautiful and otherworldly. The music deserves more recognition.

Hearing these kind of music makes me more lift up, imagine things... loving it.

Да! Это действительно эпическая музыка! Здесь Вечность царит над временным, преходящим! Как радостно в нынешнее утилитарное время слышать эти отголоски минувшего, доносящиеся из таинственой глубины древности, властно напоминающие о высшей праведности и негасимости духа! О Вечности! О подлинном смысле человеческого бытия!

man...this is incredible music. I just started to realize how much i love music like this...and how much effort it takes to make such music...and how amazingly fulfilling it is.

“The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” unity is beautiful

Замечательное видео. Показан оркестр талантов скрытых за экраном. Без них мы не услышали бы замечательную музыку!

I love this sort of music, i really think Jo is my favorite composer of all. Can this be played on the radio already? It deserves so much more. It's music made with love, passion and talent. The rhythmical tunes with choir, brass, violin and drums etc. is a new mix that hasn't been picked on upon in the mainstream. Imo Jo and others like Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix are the modern classical music composers and they deserve so much more credit for their art.

Merci ...en ces moments difficiles que nous vivons tous cette musique insuffle espoir et envie de se battre. Elle véhicule cette force de vie, cette puissance qui donne envie de créer des mondes. Elle regénère le positif et nous donne l énergie vitale d être bien avec nous même pour être bien pour les autres. Merci Mr Blankenburg

There is so many talented musicians in this world!

Just a BEAUTIFUL example of what human collaboration can achieve!

I can see how bright their inner light shines with every note. PERFECT and DIVINE

Congrats to all Group...all masters...God bless you all....Great performance...

The most wonderful, powerful, Incredible soundtrack music that I have seen....💖💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks so much Jo Blankenburg...,🙏🙏🙏

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Spettacolare... Energia e Forza Pura. Quando mi alleno con i pesi ascolto sempre questa Musica... Mi riempie di energia, mi fa aumentare il desiderio di superare il mio ultimo traguardo, di spostare un po' più in là il mio limite. E tutto questo perché un gruppo di donne e uomini che amano la musica , hanno scatenato con essa , una forza travolgente che si chiama.....EMOZIONE !!!! Vi ringrazio. Roccia.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

By far Jo this is your best album. its a masterpiece. I never get tired to listen. God bless.

You are so deep as Beethoven and Mozart!!!! Genious!!!

This is some of the most emotionally stirring music I've ever had the privilege of hearing. THANK YOU, Mr. Blankenberg!:)

This is unbelievably beautiful. My heart, when the choir started singing the Voyager chorus @ 13:04

It’s hypnotic to watch. Amazing musicians

This is soooo beautiful!

I can already imagine the whole scenes of battles, aftermaths, emotional scenes, big warriors and magic of a land yet to be known. WoW I always loved this type of pieces of draw my concept characters. I play the scenes all in my mind ... Sometimes I even cry this makes my skin crawl all the time....if music as a great power this is a piece we should be looking at as a perfect example.

When everyone is a peak expert on the craft and join hands to create something beautifull, makes music takes the next step on evolution.

Majestic! I bow in humility. Take my gratidude.

Harmonia perfeita ❤

Absolutely beautiful. Nothing more I can say

Minunat, felicitări compozitorului și orchestrei !! Am ascultat de zeci de ori această muzică.

I'm so glad I found your music. I don't have the words that describe how emotional hearing it makes me feel, not in a bad way but more like I've been through hell and made it out to the other side.

BACK HERE AGAIN 2022 !! THANKS ---JOE BLANKENBURG. FROM U.K. (2022).

Divino!!!😍😍😍

The Wheel of Cronos just stopped, immersing itself in this instrumental epicness

Jo, Thomas, Nick, Ivan and Hanz are all Greek Muses. Their music is amazing.

I almost cried it's so beautiful😍😭

All I can say is Wow! I love this tune that captures the mind and heart. I enjoyed watching each instrument section join in. I miss playing in orchestra. I know there are horns lurking somewhere.

Now this is the art of emotion. The sounds that move the soul.. an orchestra of force ready for battle..

Очень мощная композиция!!! Браво!!!!!!

Me fascina esses estilos de músicas,fantástico!!!! Parabéns 😊😊😊

Magnifico, una verdadera obra de arte de la musica y calidad del sonido!!!

Klasse einfach super weiter so 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Es magnífico. Impresionante. La verdad estoy encantada y asombrada a más no poder . No me imaginaba lo impresionante de grabar así. Respetos y mucha admiración.

Love the fact that the brass players just magically appear whenever needed and then disappear from the hall :)))))

Now this what I consider EPIC music! The ones that say epic are usually only 3 or 4 minutes long. This did not disappoint me! I really enjoyed hearing this and so glad real music still exists! Thank you

One of the best albums i have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Each piece is a masterpiece and everyday i discover another track to keep listening to over and over. Thank you Jo Blackenberg for this beauty.
