A gorgeous collection of solo violin, viola, cello, and double bass.

The Vienna Symphonic Library Solo Strings virtual instrument software features soloists Christian Eisenberger, Katharina Traunfellner, Rubén Dubrovski, and Martin Deuring. Sensitive and clear, exact and homogeneous, their performances are technically perfect and utterly convincing in their musicality. Not only are they in command of their instruments but, after several years of working for the Vienna Symphonic Library, they also know exactly what is required of them to create ideal samples. Their performances at the Silent Stage come alive again in this Vienna virtual instrument.

Apart from the entire sample treasury of the Horizon Series' Solo Strings Edition, this Vienna Instrument contains many new articulations; "Zigane," the leisurely "smeared" portamentos, are particularly impressive as Interval Performances with the new audio engine's algorithms. Another new articulation group is the fast Interval Performances in legato, marcato, and spiccato. Additional "harsh" articulations are played with an especially raw, almost brutal attack, and now are available as superbly effective Interval and Repetition Performances. The virtual instrument software also has special Performance Trills, repetitions in spiccato and ricochet articulations, sustains with fading vibrato, ponticello, sul tasto, and numerous natural and artificial harmonics.
