This is so true! I agree with all the library suggestions so far. I own EWQLSO and love it. While some libraries make it easier to achieve the sound you may have in your head, you can honestly fool people with many different libraries if you learn how to "caress" and "dance" on the keys the right way! Different libraries may require slightly different approaches. Some are limited in the amount of orchestral sounds/nuances they can realistically achieve, but they can still sound "real" (to a degree) if played properly and put in the right musical context.
