Amazing product. Being able to compose with Herrmann's instruments is so much fun.

Product details
Brand: Spitfire Audio
Spitfire’s first dry scoring stage ensemble, inspired by the eclectic genius of Bernard Herrmann. Renowned for his groundbreaking scores including Citizen Kane, Psycho, Vertigo and Taxi Driver, his legacy continues to inspire the work of composers today. We’ve worked exclusively with Bernard Herrmann’s estate to curate and assemble a unique set of studio orchestra ensembles, informed directly by the composer’s legendary orchestration aesthetic. Recorded at Studio One, AIR Studios by renowned engineer Simon Rhodes ( Avatar, Spectre, Harry Potter, There Will Be Blood), we’ve captured players performing as Herrmann would have chosen – boisterous, lively and upfront, with patches featuring selected groups, unusual instrumental combinations, chords, effects and much more. Fire up this versatile toolkit for lively and distinctive scoring.

Atmospheric, timeless...a touchy, compact and intimate room feeling, that not only emphasises the vibe you ask for as a "Herrmanian", it plays - just like in Hermann's scores - an important role. Moreover it's easy to handle and doesn't need a lot, to sound right.
Very inspiring & complete toolkit! The dry style of the library makes it quite versatile in a lot of situations from making full-on Bernard-esque style compositions to adding more up-front detail and pizaz to other styled compositions as well. The timpani, mixed flutes and strings are really great and fun to play around with as well!
