Vienna Instruments - Special Brass
$74.00

Like Special Woodwinds, the Vienna Instruments Collection Special Brass offers resonant rarities that a first-rate virtual orchestra can’t do without.

To create the perfect counterpart for Vienna’s now famous Epic Horns, the team recorded an ensemble of six trumpet players (three trumpets in Bb and three in C). The Fanfare Trumpets provide tremendous impact with their sforzato and sforzatissimo playing techniques. And they deliver sparkling trumpet themes that soar magnificently above the orchestra.

As an added bonus, Vienna’s much-acclaimed solo trumpet player Freddy Staudigl was invited to record another solo instrument from the trumpet group, the lyric and clear cornet.

The alto trombone expands Vienna’s trombone family to its high register, now making a total of four different trombone tunings available.

And the euphonium is yet another feature, revealing the noble high register of the tuba family.
