Often talked about, but this is a great audio illustration of why these seemingly small cuts make a BIG difference.

This Isn’t an example of how orchestra size matters. It’s an example of how bad keyboard programming sounds bad.

Even the 19-piece orchestration doesn't sound as good as the original 24-piece Broadway orchestration.

I'd like to know where they got that recording of the Beauty and the Beast overture.

The faster tempo helps a lot too.
