The First Hybrid Symphony
5
By Fanboy Firerust
Seven, the world’s first hybrid symphony, according to the composer, and his proudest work to date. Thomas Bergersen has created an emotional landscape of musical art that gets across the emotions and experiences of life in a phenomenal way. This isn’t simply epic music; it’s deeply emotional euphony. There is so much variety in mood, dynamics, style, and instrumentation as the experience of life is chronicled through seven enchanting, emotionally resonating movements.
My particular favorites are Deliverance for its peaceful sweetness and swelling grandeur; Eyes Wider for its amazing melodies, variety in instrumentation, great length, and emotional power; and Return to Sender for its soul-stirring other-worldly beauty that lifts one’s spirits as if they are rising to Heaven.
I am very pleased to have bought this to listen to at any time. Well done, Thomas. You’ve truly created yet another fantastic work of music for us to be blessed with. Keep up the good work.
Truly amazing music

I think Bergersen is usually known for his “trailer” or movie style music, which is awesome. But this album shows a deeper, more profound side of his mind. There is some really excellent work here, and of the seven tracks I don’t think any of them are throw aways. Best album I’ve purchased in quite awhile. I will be listening to this for quite some time!
Worth It

The story that Eyes Wider tells alone is worth the price of the whole album.
Thomas Bergersen has outdone himself

This is by far the best album composed by Thomas. It’s a musical journey and I HIGHLY recommend listening to the album in sequence from beginning to end. It is an absolute masterpiece and I cannot stop listening to it over and over again. It is inspiring and if true beauty exists in music form, it comes to us as Seven.
Seven is like listening to Life

I love this album so much as I've been listening to it on repeat since its release. My favorites are obviously the last two tracks. Though listening to Deliverence it sounds like a birth and with return to sender as experiencing death and returning to ones' maker. Makes the experience so much more enjoyable because the songs each can deal with a facet of life and can be added to any movie, video game, reading and writing and scholarly work. Best composer of our time!
Way to make a grown man cry!

Absolute masterpiece. You always take me to a very special place. Somewhere I’ve lost and can’t quite remember. Somehow the music you create helps reawaken the sleeping wonders within my mind. If I could rate your work 100 stars I would.
Thank you sir!
Amazing!

The first track almost made me cry. This is probably my favorite of Bergersen’s to date. His style seems to have become more classical, which is fine by me as it shows his maturation. Some of this really should join the classics of history.
Nobody can compose like Bergersen

Each one of these songs is fantastic. No other composer alive on this planet today can compose music the likes of this album. Don't let the slow starts of some of these songs confuse you, they build into amazing crescendoes. Eyes Wider and Big Life in particular are masterpieces. If you are a fan of Thomas Bergersen's or Two Steps From Hell's music, this should be an instant buy.
P.S. The music preview clips hardly show how good these songs get, you are in for some big surprises.
Marvelous, genius, wondrous!

Once again, Thomas Bergersen has delivered an astounding and wondrous album. Can we please talk about this artist who has demonstrated his amazing capability to compose heart-touching music of any genre he chooses!? Ahhh the talent he possesses is simply unmatched! From conquering epic trailer music to delivering prodigious symphonies likened to the best compositions of all time (ranging from Vivaldi to Mahler and everyone in between), Bergersen has simply proven to be the best composer of the 21st century, hands down. Thank you TJB for your marvelously empowering and touching music!! I certainly speak on behalf of all fans when I say, we can’t wait for your next masterpiece!!
Excellent

Thomas Bergersen never ceases to amaze me with an album. Consistently I don't know what to expect when I go in for a listen and everytime I come away with something extra. I do believe if you put his pieces of work up against any other composer I could probably pick his work out. Some may say that's a bad thing and explain how an aritst should be ever changing and new, but with Bergersen its something different. I liken a Thomas Bergersen album to the experience of going on a whole new wild adventrue with a familiar friend. There are things you notice that are the same but those are things you are very fond of. You notice similar beats and usage of instruments, but they always say something different and get you to rethink something. All of this familiarity while also lost in a new beautiful world with all new things, ideas, and wonders.
Thank you Thomas Bergersen, thank you for all your dedication, hard work, and expertise. Thank you for bringing me along for another wonderous adventure with all my best friends.
