Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra Core - Download

In partnership with BBC Studios and the world-famous BBC Symphony Orchestra, Spitfire Audio has captured what no other sample library has before: the musical synergy of a family of astoundingly accomplished players with a 90-year heritage of performances and recordings, expertly recorded at Londons famous Maida Vale Studios home of the BBCSO, and host to The Beatles, Hendrix and Bowie. Our most expansive and ambitious project to date, this landmark library is the stuff of composing dreams: strings, brass, woodwind and percussion, presented in our award-winning dedicated plugin.

Core has been curated to offer a streamlined package, featuring essential instruments and the full range of articulations, with one mix signal.

For the first time, Spitfire has captured a full orchestra: outstanding players who have developed a precise musical affinity, rehearsing and performing some of the most challenging orchestral works together, week in, week out, to create a truly cohesive sound.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra is the musical beating heart of the BBC itself - the oldest entertainment organisation in the world, trusted and respected globally. With a performance heritage nearly a century old, it boasts Sir Adrian Boult, Arturo Toscanini and Sir Colin Davis among its historical conductors, championing new classical music and composers at the BBC Proms and beyond, and selling out concert halls the world over. Every note has been expertly sampled at Maida Vale Studios, a world-class recording space with a rich musical history. Built in 1909, it was one of the BBC's earliest premises - the centre of the BBC News operation during World War II, and the home of the BBC Symphony Orchestra since 1934.

With a beautiful, modern design by ustwo (Monument Valley, DICE), BBC Symphony Orchestra is housed in Spitfire's award-winning standalone plugin (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX & NKS ready) developed primarily for composers, by composers - easy to use, intuitive and inspiring.

In the latest update to BBC Symphony Orchestra Core Spitfire have added an extra set of stunning performances from the brilliant brass section, as well as updating a selection of legatos with abilities including fast runs and shorts.
