Bassoon 2
By Vienna Symphonic Library
Every Vienna Instruments collection comes with both the Vienna Instruments player and Vienna Ensemble. Get Vienna Instruments Pro and Vienna Ensemble Pro to add another layer of expression to Vienna Instruments and improve your workflow.
Both the instrument as well as the performance of bassoonist Stepan Turnovsky, a frequent first bassoonist with the Vienna Philharmonic, proved to be perfect for the Bassoon 2. His ability to play exceptionally broad tonal reaches, and to change his playing position to compensate for variances from note to note, coupled with the Vienna team's extensive array of mic positions, result in an extraordinarily precise sampled sound.
Consequently, two solo bassoons are now available in our instrumental collection. The Bassoon 2 with a range spanning from tenor to bass offers an extended pitch range from Bb to F2, and is therefore also recommended to perform as first bassoon.
†This Instrument Download contains full-fledged versions of instruments, offering the complete articulations on par with the ones of the big Vienna Instruments DVD collections. It can be considered an add-on to the DVD collections and does not contain any kind of reduced basic sample set.
