    I'm very happy to announce the next bunch of VI demos.

    Jay Bacal focused on viola and doublebass:


    Heart's Ease by Frank Bridge
    for viola and piano
    http://www.vsl.co.at/Player.aspx?DemoId=4671&Lang=1

    Reverie by Giovanni Bottesini
    for doublebass and piano
    http://www.vsl.co.at/Player.aspx?DemoId=4672&Lang=1


    Beat Kaufmann sent us an arrangement of the
    Prelude BWV 541 by Johann Sebastian Bach
    for chamber string orchestra
    http://www.vsl.co.at/Player.aspx?DemoId=4676&Lang=1

    he did also an arrangement of the same piece for 12 cellos
    (original arrangement of "12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker"
    http://www.vsl.co.at/Player.aspx?DemoId=4675&Lang=1


    In my previous demo announcement I forgot to mention two crossover tunes by Beat Kaufmann:

    Three Flowers
    for chamber strings, soloviolin clarinet and additional instruments
    http://www.vsl.co.at/Player.aspx?DemoId=4667&Lang=1

    Nice meeting
    for solo violin and jazz trio
    http://www.vsl.co.at/Player.aspx?DemoId=4665&Lang=1


    thanks a lot Beat and Jay

    Only heard Reverie so far - but its cool to hear something for the doublebass... I tend to always think of it as a backing instrument. Nice to hear it as the main instrument.

    I'm still getting through the demos, but the Bach Prelude made me smile!! Wow-- so beautifully done!! Man. It almost makes me want to throw my computer out of the window! [:P] (... and I mean that in a good way!)

    Thanks for sharing!!

    Wow! The Frank Bridge piece for viola & piano is impressive. However, I would love to hear someone do a mock-up of a late 20th century piece, like Ligeti's 2nd String quartet or George Benjamin's Viola, Viola.

    Well no, not me, but if someone else could it would definitely convince me to start saving my pennies to buy the VI Solo Strings.
