Vienna Symphonic Library

The Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestral Strings I extended software download features samples from several dedicated ensembles. The 14 violinists are headed by Christian Eisenberger, who in his esteemed international concert work has collaborated with artists and conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Martha Argerich, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Herbert von Karajan, Gideon Kremer, Kent Nagano, Roger Norrington, Murray Perahia, Andras Schiff, Georg Solti and many others. The ensemble of 10 violas is headed by Anett Homoki, who is a member of the Vienna Chamber Philharmony as well as of the Volksoper Vienna.

The Orchestral Strings I library offers an extremely wide range of articulations. The special qualities of these instruments are the result of a multitude of performances. With larger ensembles, the random effect of articulations like performance trills or fast legatos is especially pronounced, lending those performance patches remarkable authenticity in conjunction with the new performance algorithms in the Vienna Instruments. The larger the ensemble, the more intense the random effect—that is, the natural "inexactitude" among the musicians when changing from one tone to the next.
