ORCHESTRAL STRINGS I
Heart of the orchestra - violins and violas
The 14 violinists in the violin ensemble are led by Christian Eisenberger, who has performed in various international concerts with artists and conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Martha Argerich, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Herbert von Karajan, Gideon Kremer, Kent Nagano, Roger Norrington, Murray Perahia, Andras Schiff, Georg Solti and many more worked. The ensemble of ten violas is directed by Anett Homoki, who is a member of the Vienna Chamber Philharmonic and the Vienna Volksoper.
The Vienna Instruments string sections offer an extremely wide range of playing styles. The special characteristics of these sound bodies are taken into account by a large number of performances, which show their strengths especially in interaction with the algorithms of the Vienna Instrument Player. In larger ensembles, the random effect with trills or fast legatas comes into its own and gives these performance patches special authenticity. The larger the ensemble, the more intense the effect that implements the natural “imperfection” of the individual musicians when changing from one note to the next. This effect was particularly taken into account in the "Repetition Performances Pizzicati", which were recorded in two different tempos.
A number of user requests for additional samples were also taken into account, for example the short staccatos, the expressive interval legati, espressivo with sordino, as well as the expansion of the range of sustains and staccatos.
