• david rosenthal millennium concerto suite hakkinda (vik vik edenler son paragrafi okusun):
  
  "it took me nearly nine months to complete the orchestration of yngwie's "opus 1." my 307 page score for the millennium concerto suite for electric guitar and orchestra in e flat minor was originally written for 65 piece orchestra plus choir. but, due to union rules every musician in the orchestra was contracted to play at the recording session. so, my orchestration ended up being performed by a 90 piece orchestra with 40 piece choir!
  
  after the long, tedious process of transcribing more than an hour of yngwie's ideas for the concerto, it was then time to begin the orchestration. first i wrote the entire score by hand, and then it was entered into my computer using a software program called overture. i was then able to generate laser printed copies which were later leather-bound and used by the conductor during the recording sessions.
  
  another interesting part of the whole process was creating a demo of my orchestration for yngwie. although he is a brilliant guitarist, yngwie doesn't read music. so i couldn't present him with my score and say, "what do you think?". instead, i had to create the "rosenthal philharmonic" (using 7 kurzweil synthesizers) and record a demo of the entire piece by playing every one of the parts. then yngwie overdubbed his guitar parts and was able to make comments and suggestions, which i later incorporated into the score."
