Stardust doesn’t have any songs that build into a big dramatic crescendo like that but the way that the orchestra is used is similar to my mind.
I’d need more listens to really know but yeah I enjoyed it.

Yeah I heard mixed reviews on the production since it's often maximalist, but I personally enjoy it. Definitely comes off like a classic rock / country crossover hit from the late 70's with all the strings, and I mean that in the best possible way. Every song is innately sing-able, even if I can't ever hit those glorious high notes.
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. I'm still loving it regularly.
