The program ended with one of my personal favorites: “To Glory.” The second half was, fortunately, a bit longer than the first one, and the crowd did not let Bergersen leave so easily: he had to play an encore. Luckily there were two singers present to give the pieces a bit more variation. The pieces were only just a couple of minutes long, and personally, I think they all sounded pretty much the same. © Pavel KrálĪfter the intermission, the concert continued at the same pace as the first half. After a bit more than a half an hour, the first half was over. With this instrument, he helped the other violins play “Heart of Courage.” For the next piece he switched to the piano. The cheers became even louder when Thomas Bergersen entered the stage with his electric violin. You could clearly see that the audience loved it. The first piece of the night showcased everything that could be expected from this evening: Petr Pololáník, who conducted this concert, was wearing headphones and I could hear an audio track with additional music in the background giving support to the massive wall of sound that was coming our way. It was no surprise to me that the whole area where the percussion was located, was surrounded by transparent walls to reduce the noise levels for the other musicians. The trailer music Two Steps from Hell makes is very bombastic and loud most of the time. In the venue itself, it also became clear what to expect from this concert. Judging from their interactions, some of them had not met each other in real life but had only spoken on the Internet. There were a lot of people with big smiles on their faces. When I arrived at the venue, I knew I was in for a treat. The fans didn’t seem to mind, since the first concert sold out very quickly and when the afternoon concert was announced it followed suit. Unfortunately, it became clear that Nick Phoenix would not be able to come, but thankfully this was not the case for Thomas Bergersen. I was very surprised and happy when Film Music Prague announced a Two Steps from Hell concert with both composers being present as guests.
Most of their pieces are heavily focused on a broad sounding choir and a lot of percussion. Two Steps from Hell is the name of the composer duo Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix, who mainly compose music that can be heard in movie trailers.
