    Here comes my next exploration with the new Synchron Strings which I still believe are the Core and main subject of the Synchron Series, being full of great recorded Material and tons of options to program its audible appearance, that deserves to be explored in depth with Music demanding uncompromising everything a dedicated Composer of our musical tradition might ever demand.

    Frank Bridge: Suite for String Orchestra H93

    I chose Frank Bridge which seem to be estimated as one of the most important Composer in the UK, while seem to be not that much know outside. And indeed in my humble opinion he deserves musical Attention not only for being the composition teacher of Benjamin Britten.

    I personally realy like how nearly seamlessly his music brings together a deep romantic sentiment, and a tremendous lively courageous harmonic and melodic inspirarion often very close to the musical Impressionism of his french Contemporaries Debussy and Ravel.

    The settings used are not that different as those I had for the Suk Serenade, while I think the composition brings in itself a bit more warmth in the ensemble, what made me often enough enjoy the realism achievable with Synchron Strings. As long we have no recorded Sordino-Patches all Sordino passages as in the Noctune are made with the inbuild Filter (24) of the Synchronplayer, (while the Solopassages uses of course the real sordino of the Solostringlibrary).
