Really beautiful scenery in your music. You use the orchestra very well. I love the colors you use, and the changes in rhythm throughout the entire piece. At times heroic and inspiring, other times mysterious and breathy. You totally captured the silly militarism of Munchausen. I also love the klezmer that occasionally pops up. My favorite vignette was "The Snowy Village". It really sets the right mood, reminds me a bit of Scheherazade. Well done all around!

Very nice, I really enjoyed listening to this. For me at least, it was hard to follow the discrete elements of the story in the first half (the sections to my ear sounded pretty similar in content) but was far clearer in the second half starting with the Baron's stint in the Russian army. Great choice of subject which to my knowledge, I'm not aware of other examples even though the subject certainly makes a great basis for a musical setting.
