It does indeed. Were there any details about what exactly that means? I mean I get that it'll be something that sounds like the man's work, but will it be a full orchestra or just strings I wonder. Or I guess it could be something like the Albions i.e. orchestrated patches.

The guitar library surprises me. Mostly because I don't see a Joey Santiago guitar library as an obvious choice (and I do very much like the pixies).

I'm sure a lot of folk would be just happy to have the BML completed (volume 2) first

I found this little blurb over at timespace

And finally, after a year of negotiations, Spitfire will be commencing one of their most exciting collaborations to date. Due to be released in late 2016, the first volume of the Bernard Herrmann Collection will deliver a medium sized band recorded in a smaller, drier location with his far reaching inspirational aesthetic. Spitfire promise they will combine a fresh approach to sampling to usher in a new attitude to string composition using virtual instruments with an educational element to inspire future generations. As an added bonus, the team will also be working with the Saul Bass estate who will be providing the raw materials of yet-unseen works as part of the packaging and GUI design.
