Your music is fine. I don't like the instrument sounds out of SI. The strings sound like a synth and the violin solo like a square wave. In context with the strings, the piano is too bright, but again, your piece sounds very nice.

uhm... ok you are right, but keep in mind MSI is a $200 VI ;-)
anyway, what's your favorite orch. VI? (not VSL please! Something an average human being could afford...).

Don't really have a favorite (and I'm not a fan of VSL). I use a combination of VI and outboard gear:

Kurzweil PC2 (piano, clar, some percussion, brass, section strings) ($2500)
EMU Proteus 2/Orch (pizz. winds, other percussion) ($200 used)
Wavestation SR and VI (legato strings) ($200)
Garritan Per Orch (some solo strings) ($250?)
MachFive (various items (cym rolls, misc instr) ($500?)
PlugSoundPro (various instr.) ($350?)
