Strings of Winter features 60 unheard and pristine articulations performed by a 41-piece European string orchestra and the wonderful and unique Mongolian State Morin Khuur Ensemble.
The string orchestra was split into 5 sections and performed a number of detailed and extended techniques for this collection, including Trills, Sul Ponticello, Harmonics, Col Legno and Bartók Pizzicato. The resonance and raw complexity of these new articulations was captured in the classic room of Studio 22 in Budapest.
The Mongolian State ensemble plays the Morin Khuur, or "horse head fiddle," the national instrument of Mongolia. This traditional instrument has two strings made of horse hair and is played with a bow also strung with horse hair, giving it a delicate and airy timbre. The Morin Khuur Ensemble was recorded at White Arch Studios in Ulan Bator with an orchestra of 15 players split into high and low ensemble.
