Vienna Symphonic Library Woodwinds I Extended Software Download

The Vienna Symphonic Library Woodwinds I extended software download contains the four main wind instruments—flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon—as well as their corresponding ensemble formations. Since the beginning of the Vienna Symphonic Library, first-rate musicians have been providing the sound and character of these wind instruments as soloists and ensemble leaders. Gisela Mashayekhi-Beer was the solo flutist of the Zurich Opera orchestra and taught at the Bruckner University Linz and at the Vienna Music University. Markus Deuter was (and is) first oboist of numerous German orchestras; he came to Vienna especially for the recordings of the French oboe. The clarinetist Daniel Hirth, in spite of his youth, can look back at an international concert career with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Vienna Symphonic Orchestra and others. Martin Machovits, among other assignments, is solo bassoon player at the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra.

The solo instruments as well as the ensembles offer fast and slow interval performances in legato and marcato styles, as well as performance trills. From the solo instruments, the flute and clarinet arpeggios (major, minor and diminished broken chords in legato and staccato styles), the solo flute's mordents and the French oboe's flutter tonguing particularly stand out. The slow legato repetitions of the solo flute are especially appealing. During the recordings of the French oboe, Vienna Instruments gave their utmost attention to capturing the lyrical and expressive vibrato.

Your purchase also entitles you to download the free Vienna Instruments player software that includes the Vienna Ensemble mixing and host software.
