Sentenced - Cross My Heart And Hope To Die

The comparison with the gladiator seemed to me a funny, but still pretty exaggeration. I never seemed to myself a doomed warrior in the Coliseum, even before my very first concert with an orchestra. Of course, then I was a little nervous. In the end, I had never played in front of a large audience and had never experienced what it means to go on stage, under the blinding rays of searchlights through the rows of orchestra musicians, go to the ramp, bow to the applauding audience, take our place in front and watch out for the conductor’s first sign. An unforgettable experience!
