Description

Uncover the rich tapestry of history and sound with the Vienna Symphonic Library Recorders. These exquisite samples transport you to the heart of medieval and Renaissance music, capturing the essence of an era when recorders reigned supreme in orchestral and solo compositions. While their pitch and dynamic range might be more modest compared to their modern cousin, the flute, recorders offer a truly unique, soft, and mellow sound that has graced works by legends like Telemann, Bach, and Vivaldi.

Recorders are often misunderstood as simple children's instruments, yet they possess a depth and complexity recognized by contemporary composers. Their distinctive timbre infuses modern film scores with an exotic flair, evoking ancient or far eastern worlds. Expertly recorded by Austrian virtuoso Leopold Eibl, these samples offer an authentic and nuanced addition to any composer's toolkit.

With your purchase, you'll receive access to the free Vienna Instruments player software, including the Vienna Ensemble mixing host, allowing seamless integration into your workflow.

Vienna Symphonic Library: Recorder

soundonsound.com

Vienna Symphonic Library's Recorders collection is a charming dive into the nuanced world of recorder sounds, expertly performed by Leopold Eibl. The library captures the instrument's versatility, from the shrill, piccolo-like soprano recorder to the mournful depths of the great bass. While the high notes of the soprano can be piercing, the overall quality is both nostalgic and evocative, perfect for period soundtracks or creative explorations. The provided articulations, such as vibrato and staccato, add depth, although the absence of phrases might be felt by some. A beautifully crafted and well-rounded collection for the Vienna Instruments player.
