A question about orchestral arrangements

Hello!

Does anyone know which Stratovarius album has a symphony orchestra playing ? A friend of mine knows a guy who played french horn on one of the albums, but wasn't sure of the exact album / song.

I'd like to know which album / song that was. Unfortunately, I don't have all the albums with me now, but I guess it would be from one of the Elements albums ?

So I'd appreciate very much if somebody could check it out for me in the album booklet.. :)

At least in Elements Pt2, I may check the others later :)

Er, well Destiny, Infinite and Elements part 1 and 2 had full orchestras in there I think.

Any more information? Song title or something?

I will check all the cd album booklets in the morning if nobody has done by then. I can't now as they are in my sons bedroom and he's sleeping.

Elements Pt. 1 is the most symphonic-orchestral of them all

On INFINITE VISIONS it shows a live orchestra(I think it was a children's orchestra of gifted young people) playing some segments for the EPISODE Album. Babylon and Season of Change songs. Don't believe me? :? Then, watch it for yourself!

But, if you are discussing symphonic influences, then Elements1, in my opiniion, followed by Infinite has more orchestra in the mixing.

I think Strato only had a full orchestra in Elements-albums. At least those the only albums that have a name of an orchestra on the booklet :D (by the way, wasn't Joensuu city orchestra the orchestra Tuomo Lassila played in?) On previous albums they only had some strings.

Infinite and Destiny both had pretty much a full orchestra, albeit a smaller one. But yes Elements were the only ones that had a full 'named' orchestra.
