SOLO STRINGS I

The most comprehensive solo string library ever created

Christian Eisenberger, Katharina Traunfellner, Rubén Dubrovski, Martin Deuring. Four soloists who bring all their heart and soul and their diverse experience from their many years of international concert activities to the Vienna Instrument. Sensitive and clear, exact and homogeneous, technically perfect and of convincing musicality. There are four artists at work here who not only have mastered their instruments, but who have worked for the Vienna Symphonic Library for many years, know exactly what is important. Your performances in the Silent Stage stay alive in this Vienna Instrument.

In addition to the entire treasure trove of samples from the Solo Strings Edition of the Horizon Series, this Vienna Instrument contains many new ways of playing: “Zigane”, the slowly “lubricated” Portamenti, come into their own as interval performances with the algorithms of the new audio engine . The fast interval performances in legato, marcato and spiccato playing styles are also new. "Harsh" are playing techniques with a particularly coarse, almost brutal touch (attack), which are also available as interval performances and repetitions. There are also special performance trills, repetitions in spiccato and richochet playing styles, sustains with decreasing vibrato, ponticello, sul tasto, and a variety of natural and artificial harmonics.

Instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass
