Sounds good
You are right, this could work in many situations. For cut scenes where some dramatic events take place or even as background song during actual gameplay, in various genres. I think this could even work for real time strategy games as it helps to calm the player down.
The strings sound very nice, they create a very dense atmosphere. The other instruments could be a bit more present, though. It almost seems as if they can only be heard as a whisper in the background.
Also, sometimes there are parts where all instruments stop playing (at 0:18 or 0:35 for example). This sounds a bit strange from time to time (another odd thing. Sometimes the silence does fit, at other times it doesn't). I think you should have a second look into it.
Two examples where I think the silence doesn't work: at 0:18 and at 1:57
At 2:13 I think it fits.
Well, maybe it's just me... ^^
