    The fact that these two dudes literally converted one of the best orchestra pieces ever into something played by two melodicas is just amazing.

      No it's horrible. All props for the playing part, but just no. The melodica version sounds like a shitty arcade version of the original Jupiter, because half of what makes it Jupiter is the orchestration.

    The rhythmic tension is so excellent! There's nothing I don't love about this. I have played this several times from the cello section and I just adore hearing how you manage some of the orchestration with what I'm assuming is tonguing on the melodica. And I'm adding another 5000 points for the Tchaik 6 project.
