Nice composition.  The only suggestion I would have would be to send everything to a Medium Hall or Chamber to add some reverb/dimension to the piece.

I agree the composition is engaging however it sounds in very unnatural space.

Thanks for the listening and comments
There is on every string track Garritan players own concert hall effect. ....hmmm.. maybe too little, because I wanted that it does not sound like too big.

I like the piece, but echo Mr. no999's comments about the hall. Also, the GPO :-( It's good from a far, but far from good... Try EWQL Gold if you can? Also, work on the cc codes for articulation/vibrato. And then finally, riding the faders to make it breath better (in conjunction of course with the instrument panning which I'm sure you've already done)
 
So Strings? (like this) should sit "Left to right" as they probably do. However, they should also sit "in the hall..." With some being closer (less verb) and some sitting farther away (more verb) 
 
Then there's that whole tricky legato/vibrato/butter sustain thing? It all needs to breath and at the same time fit together? It's non-trivial... It takes hours/weeks of trial and error. But in the end? It's worth it.

Good tips
Strings are panned left to right violin 1, violin 2, viola and cello... maybe too tight, on the other hand too wide gets listener sitting in the middle of the orchestra.
playing with keyboards It's difficult to get sounds like real strings
As you wrote, I have a lot to do with reverbs, panning and faders to get more dynamic and better sounding track

As a die hard rocker it's nice to sit back and listen to classical pieces.  I enjoyed this one.
