Best Cello and Violin Synth or VST?

Which program do you think has the best, most realistic sounding cello?  how about violin?

I have been using Reason 4.0 and love most of the sounds besides these two.

Thanks!

    East West Gypsy has the best sounding violin around. Symphonic orchestra has a pretty good solo cello but not as good as the violin.

    EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra - may not be the absolute best, but it's a reasonable compromise between authentic sound and having to get a second mortgage on your house. Does use iLok, though, if you care about that.

    Bear in mind that orchestral realism is more about technique than the synth or sample library. There is a book out on MIDI orchestration that I've been tempted to pick up - something like that might be a good investment.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Thanks for the recommendations!  From what I've found researching on google, it looks like the best ones to date are East West Symphonic Orchestra, and Vienna Symphonic Orchestra.  Do any of you guys know if these sound libraries will work with Sonar 8.0 32 bit on a 64 bit windows 7 OS?  If so, how do they work, by rewire or VST allocation?  I want to make sure I will be able to write and edit seamlessly with one of these without changing to a different editing program for whatever reason. Can anyone shed some light?

    What about L.A. Scoring Strings First Chair? Depends on what you need it for, but it should be a contender.
