Eight violins, six violas, five cellos and four double basses make up the arrangement, offering a wide tonal palette across a full range of scales.

Multiple layers of round-robin alternatives make up each velocity layer in both mezzo-forte and forte dynamics.

Humanising arrangements is made easy with expressive dynamics. Short articulations feature a wide range of staccato, spiccato alongside tight and loose pizzicato, Bartok Pitz and Col Legno taps. Each performance techniques includes four round-robins per note, with velocity control and envelope control for enhanced realism and control.
Recorded with meticulous attention to detail, the Hyperion Strings Elements offers complete transparency of sound, just like the real instrument.

Brimming with character, the realism is enhanced by the inclusion of natural noises from the acoustic instrument and performer.
