SOLO STRINGS II

With gentle instinct

This Vienna Instruments Collection expands VSL Solo Strings I with completely new, sensitive playing styles. Solo Strings II contains many playing techniques from the first collection, which are now played here “con sordino” (with mute).
By putting on the damper, the transmission of vibrations from the strings to the resonance box is reduced and the sound is darkened. The muted instruments impress with their delicacy in solo passages, but they also blend in fantastically with a multitude of musical styles and enrich the timbre with a new overtone structure.

Only wooden dampers were used, as only this type of damping is perfectly adapted to the bridge of the instrument by the instrument maker. The Solo Strings II Collection offers numerous facets of muted short and long tones, crescendo and diminuendo variants, but of course also the unique interval performances such as legato, portamento and trills. In addition, the performance Legati was recorded with very long tones and each pitch and volume with twenty-four variants, so that they can also be used with slow passages without any problems. An additional effort that was worth it!

With Christian Eisenberger, Katharina Traunfellner, Rubén Dubrovski and Martin Deuring, four artists are at work who not only master their instrument, but also know exactly what is important after years of recording for the Vienna Symphonic Library and their internationally acquired routine. Your performances in the Silent Stage stay alive in this Vienna Instrument. Sensitive and clear, exact and homogeneous, technically perfect and of convincing musicality.

Instruments: violin, viola, cello, bass
