It sounds like two layers: strings and synth lead. For the synth lead try:
Oscillator: Saw. 2 voice Unison with a slow rate, to create some movement.
Filter: Low Pass, 12 dB. Boost the Resonance. Bring the cutoff down to take a chunk of high end off, but leave it bright.
Portamento: Just a little, to smooth the movement between notes.
For the Strings layer, you could either layer in a String sample, or create a string-like synth patch. For info on how to synthesize strings see this video:
