The new Garritan Personal Orchestra is amazing. Of all the incredible things at AES this year, I was totally amazed by the quality and price of this CD (I believe around $250). It doesn't have the flexibility of some of the higher priced librarys, but you can make some incredible sounds right out of the box.

The real key to making the samples sound realistic is adapting your playing style to mimic the nuances of string playing.
