Once Ubiquitous but Still Relevant
This library contains many iconic orchestral sounds from the late 90s, early and mid 2000s (prior 2010.) The sounds here are unfortunately rather old and the brass sounds are a bit weak. However with enough EQ and plugin effects it is possible to come close or match the quality of East West's Symphonic Orchestra.
I would only recommend this if you have a weak budget and need orchestra sounds (first you should look at free options), you're a collector, or need a "distinct" sound. You can hear Siedlaczek's Oboe and English Horn from a mile away. Even the solo string may be caught. People still use 1990's hardware/synths and these were originally recorded in the late 90's. It's as useful as you need it to be.
Update: The sounds on this are actually lower quality than more authentic sources such as the CD releases. Gigasamples(?) for example.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Oboe: If you played video games (probably found its way onto TV shows at the time) in the early (released in 1996 actually so even earlier) 2000's you'd have probably heard this sound, probably in an RPG. It's as distinct as a Roland French Horn.
English Horn: Same as above. This sounds pretty similar to the Oboe but is suited towards a lower repertoire. You can't really mistake these sounds off of Peter Siedlackzek's Advanced Orchestra. Granted, because they're so distinct (and obvious), you should be tactful in how you use it.
Oldschool cool
A really old thing, with sounds from the 90's. You get a ton of stuff, if you don't want full on realism, and a library that barely eats up any memory, this is a good one to have as a start. It's still very usable if you're scoring games (has been partially used for the first Kingdom Hearts and Harry Potter games to say the least). It has a specific feel to it, so it might not be for everyone.
