Subdued Passion

Muted string ensembles, but with all the passion intact: This meticulously crafted collection of delicate sounds doesn’t simply put a mute on the bridge of our stringed instruments but offers an astonishingly rich plethora of nuances and tonal colors that can’t be achieved any other way. These strings might be muted, but their expressivity is certainly not toned down at all. This collection expands on the regular Studio Appassionata Strings Collection, adding an atmospheric touch to the tried and true lush string sound that is remarkably adaptable for various moods, genres and recording projects.

The Gentle Whisper of Strings
This collection stays true to the big Hollywood lushness of our regular Studio Appassionata Strings. Unlike many movie series however this is a sequel that’s actually on par with its predecessor and expands on its rich tonal palette. The ensembles of 20 first violins, 20 second violins, 14 violas, 12 cellos and 10 double basses were recorded in the relatively dry, controlled ambience of our Silent Stage. They exhibit a passionate and beautifully refined sound, masterfully performed with all the subtleties that are essential to create lively and organic string performances.
