Details

The library includes long transitions for legatos and glissandos, available with or without vibrato, allowing for nuanced phrasing. Unique ornaments and grace notes can be triggered at the onset or end of notes, adding further expressiveness. The dynamic range extends from very quiet to very loud, accommodating a wide array of musical styles.

Recorded at Teldex Scoring Stage, the sound is natural and distinctive, captured with five mic positions: close stereo, Decca tree, AB mic position, ambient, and surround. This variety allows for flexible mixing options, enabling composers to tailor the sound to their specific needs. The performers include Farida Rustamova on a 1745 Guarneri violin, Alejandro Regueira on a 1983 Iizuka viola, and Vasily Bystroff on a modern 2016 Naumov cello, each contributing to the library's rich tonal palette.
