Around 35 sec in I'm hearing some right channel artifacts, persists for about 30 seconds. My guess is that they're not part of the mix but rather an issue during rendering or perhaps compression? I'll have a listen at home later on my monitors to make sure itsnot on my end.
Loved the crescendo and the arrival of the brass section, I wasn't expecting such an explosive change, it was great! I do think it made the first half a bit bland by comparison, variations and articulations especially can be difficult to produce digitally but some variety by introducing or removing elements would do the trick.
And I wasnt here last year so you're getting innovation points there from me!
