Hi William,
It's funny you bring up this topic. For the past few weeks, I personally have been doing some soul searching. I've been a VSL user since the Horizon days but must admit that I've never really dove into the full capabilities of VSL. I know I've leaned more toward the film-score approach in writing original compositions while mixing various libraries (other than VSL). Compared to writing/programming classical works with VSL, it's hard for someone to really evaluate just how good or bad someone is when evaluating original film score type writing. I'm saying this because, it's hard to critize artistic interpretation of a contempory original work unless it's obviouslly bad programming.
On the other hand, listening to a VSL classical composition that God and everyone knows makes it much easier to compare to the many recordings that have been done on a particular piece of work. I hope I'm making sense here......
Currently, I'm working on Haydn's Symphony No 31 in D Major (Hornsignal) for that very reason. It's one of the first classical pieces I fell in love with back in the late 60's. I'm also giving Sibelius a go rather than using a sequencer. I want to master VSL using Sibelius (which I know in many ways, it's a harder task) and won't be happy with the piece until it sounds exactly like the 3 professional recordings that I have of it. This for me, will be my approach to gaining the confidence of being able to program VSL using all it's capabilities as they were intended.
I think your thoughts of creating a VSL/Classical website it an absolute great idea.
