About BALKAN Ethnic Orchestra

BALKAN Ethnic Orchestra is a highly unique and fresh sounding collection giving you access to a huge amount of Eastern European soloists. Balkan Ethnic Orchestra includes everything you need to write authentic eastern european Balkan music. From expressively playable folklore instruments and the infamous balkan brass sound to an ethnic vocal quartet and solo percussion. It's all right at your fingertips.

Every instrument inside this collection was recorded with the same attention to detail than all the libraries from Strezov Sampling, featuring multiple mic positions, different short and long articulations, expressive phrases, true polyphonic legato and various ensemble sizes. Recorded at Sofia Session Studio using high-end recording equipement and the same approach towards liveliness and realism as Strezov's Next Generation Choir Series, Balkan Ethnic Orchestra provides inspiration from the roots. For a complete and detailed overview we highly recommend watching the official walkthrough video as well as checking out the manual

"Balkan liefert eine Menge an Instrumenten, die man in anderen Libraries vor allem in dieser Qualität und Ausführlichkeit vergeblich sucht."

"Strezov Sampling has knocked it out of the park with Balkan Ethnic Orchestra. Not only to cover instruments which just haven't been sampled before, but they have done that with precision and excellence."

Konnte bisher noch nicht viel damit arbeiten oder musizieren. Jedoch finde ich die Iinstrumente sehr gelungen. Dachte zuerst es gäbe noch einiges mehr an Fülle von Instrumenten und Artikulationen. Was ich allerdings für Gipsy Musik sehr vermisse ist ein Cimbalom. Das Cimbalom ist ein hauptsächlich im Pannonischen Raum verbreitetes, mit Klöppeln geschlagenes Hackbrett. Nach der Form wird das Saiteninstrument zu den Kastenzithern gezählt. Vielleicht kommt da noch was von Strezov?

"Once you open up Balkan Ethnic Orchestra, you'll bring it into your palette permanently. There's plenty of characterful sounds, sometimes guttural with human imperfections, and other times precise and well recorded. Love this."
