Spitfire | BML LOW BRASS library
Spitfire releases LOW BRASS library.

RELEASE PRICE £184 (RRP £245) FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY!
Spitfire are delighted to announce the release of the fifth instalment in our definitive BML (British Modular Library). Providing you with the most solid foundations for your orchestral palette, Spitfire's Low Brass celebrates some of the greatest players on the world stage today.
Recorded in Lyndhurst Hall - Air Studios, one of the finest scoring stages in the world, through rarefied vintage valve and ribbon mics, via the unique Neve "Montserrat" pre-amps via a Neve 88R desk onto a pristinely maintained Studer 2" tape machine and digitised via the finest Prism A-Ds. With a huge host of mic positions to choose from alongside mixes from our chief engineer Jake Jackson: Low Brass offers the definitive edition of these instruments:
THE TUBA - Played by Owen Slade one of the most called-upon session musicians in the country, Owen conjures a beautiful lyricism made from pure Chocolate, to monstrous side ripping lows and gentle and warm humorous parps.
THE CONTRABASS TROMBONE - Wagner Strauss and Schoenberg are some composers who put this instrument through its paces, however, Samuel Adler in his book “The Study Of Orchestration” rather flippantly remarked “Since the contrabass trombone taxes the performer so greatly, we advise not to write for the instrument...” Pah to that! London has a handful of fine players and in this library we have the finest.
THE CIMBASSO - Or Verdi Trombone Basso. Until recent times quite a rarefied instrument, now making a come back on many of the big studio picture scores. In it's lower dynamic range it's not unlike a Tuba. But it’s not this that we’re looking for with a Cimbasso, for the real character of the instrument is in its upper dynamics and Cuivre style of playing. For therein lies a sound that could have sprung straight out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.
CIMBASSO A2 - As above but with 2 two different players playing at the same time. Combine the two patches and you have three Verdi trombone bassos!
