When Fluffyaudio’s adventure began and our first sample library was released, we were already dreaming of how it would have been to sample a vocal ensemble. Five years have passed since My Piano, our first domino tile. Thanks to our collaborators and friends and, moreover, our loyal supporters and fierce critics, we have gained great experience. More than as our second dominoes tile, we like to think of all those people as the vital sap, the pushing energy that helped our dominoes to keep on flowing even when it was going to stop. When we thought to sample a choir, we had no doubt of who we wanted to conduct it. Mario Lanaro – with whom we had the pleasure of coming across during our years of study at Verona University – had all the qualities we were looking for. With more than just a solid and professional classical training, he is a renowned Choir Conductor, a great Organist, and a Composer of increasing fame. He has the right balance between leadership, authority, shine and sympathy, and the sought-after ability to put people he works with in the right mood to do their best. From one side, we wanted the mechanism to run smooth; on the other, we didn’t want to lose the freshness of the news that makes people more careful and responsive. We achieved this by choosing two choirs that had a long story of previous special commitments with Mario Lanaro – so that they already knew well each other – but that are normally held from different conductors. ![]() One of the things we were more unsure about – even if in our preliminary meetings the Conductors reassured us – was the endurance of the singers. We thought that a voice would tire much more easily and much more quickly than any other instrument. We planned short sessions of recording with many breaks, but luckily, for once, we were wrong. Both “La Rose” and “Novecento” ensemble gave us some very intense feelings of amazement, singing not only during the session, but even just for fun after every lunch and dinner. And since we find that the human voice is one of the most moving instruments, all our meals almost ended up in tears! Female Vocal Ensemble “La Rose” ![]() 当 Fluffyaudio 的冒险开始, 我们的第一个样本库被发布, 我们已经梦想着它将是如何样本的声乐合奏。自从我们的第一块多米诺骨牌《我的钢琴》以来, 五年已经过去了。感谢我们的合作者和朋友, 此外, 感谢我们的忠实支持者和激烈的批评者, 我们获得了丰富的经验。我们更喜欢把所有这些人都看作是至关重要的树液, 这种推动能量帮助我们的多米诺骨牌即使在要停止的时候也能继续流动。 当我们想品尝一个合唱团时, 我们毫不怀疑我们想让谁来指挥。马里奥·拉纳罗--在维罗纳大学学习的几年里, 我们有幸与他接触--拥有我们所追求的所有品质。他不仅有扎实和专业的经典训练, 还是著名的合唱团指挥、伟大的组织者, 也是声名显赫的作曲家。他在领导、权威、光辉和同情之间有正确的平衡, 在他的追求能力之间, 他能让和他一起工作的人有正确的心情去尽自己最大的努力。从一个方面来看, 我们希望机制运行平稳;另一方面, 我们不想失去让人更加小心、反应更灵敏的新闻的新鲜感。我们通过选择两个合唱团来实现这一目标, 这两个合唱团对马里奥·拉纳罗的特殊承诺有着长期的描述--因此他们已经很了解对方--但这些合唱团通常来自不同的指挥家。 再次, 我们希望正确的位置来品尝这个非常特殊的仪器: 一些可能是一个教堂, 音乐厅和一个录音工作室在同一时间, 而不是其中任何一个这样的地方。这就是为什么我们选择在克里马品尝多米尼克合唱团, 在精彩的萨拉贾迪诺。这正是我们在 "Rinascimento 会议" 中发现和欣赏的地方。我们从7月11日开始与女声乐合奏 "拉罗斯"。通常由何塞·博尔戈夫人主持, 女孩们早上闪着光。在一次惊人的会议之后, 我们几乎更加困惑而不是高兴。男人们怎么能做这么精彩的工作, 和那些美妙的声音相比, 他们怎么会听起来呢?但我们更惊讶的是, 在与男声合唱团相处的第一天--尤其是在吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐后, 没有保存葡萄酒--他们继续以完美的调子、正确的心情和精力演唱, 几乎类似于低谷中的自然 "地狱般" 的起诉如果那些天使般的声音。令人惊讶的是, 从不同的角度开始, 同样的两件事可以获得多么不同的东西。例如, 女孩们几乎总是在头发上挥手致意, 好像在画或拉神奇的电线, 感觉不知怎么地帮助她们从手势中发出。相反, 通常由 Maurizio Sakegna 先生主持的声乐团 "Novecento" 的男子站在那里, 就像一座古罗马教堂的柱子。 我们更不确定的一点是歌手的耐力--即使在我们的初步会议上, 指挥们让我们放心。我们以为一个声音会比其他任何乐器都容易疲劳, 速度也要快得多。我们计划了简短的录音环节, 有很多休息, 但幸运的是, 这一次, 我们错了。《玫瑰》和《诺维森托》的合奏都给了我们一些非常强烈的惊讶感, 不仅在会议期间唱歌, 甚至只是为了在每次午餐和晚餐后的乐趣。而既然我们发现人的声音是最感人的乐器之一, 我们所有的饭菜最终几乎都流下了眼泪! 女声乐合奏 "La Rose" |
