Important information
The total size of the library is 207 Gb.
The entire structure of folders and files is preserved in its original form from the original source. Please note that in the Instruments folder there will also be 2 folders (Violin 1 and Violin 2) with samples. Moving them anywhere at your own peril and risk.
There are files of the same name in the library.
Since the size of the torrent file exceeds several times the allowable size on the tracker, I had to divide the distribution into 4 parts. Part I is the main folder in which all subsequent parts will need to be saved.
Everything will have to have exactly the same look as in the screenshot below:

Additional Information:
If there was a single line of products that could sum up the foundation of Spitfire’s approach to sampling it would be Mural Symphonic Strings. Recorded at the same studio that has played host to billions of dollars worth of blockbuster scores, with the same players playing the same instruments. Deep sampled with an affluence unlike any other sample library. As a project of nearly 4 years we released it as a series of modular volumes. Power users out there appreciated the in-depth microphones and mixes, everyday users enjoyed being able to consume Mural in smaller more affordable iterations (especially with our Mural Ensembles degustation volume!).
For reasons we’ll give in a minute, we’ve decided to take Mural 1, 2, 3, Ensembles & Evolutions off our shelves in their current form. To celebrate their award winning success and to give everyone one last opportunity to enjoy this modular set of tools we’re going to be offering ALL volumes at a discount of a massive 47% whilst also putting Symphonic Evolutions on sale as a standalone library for the first and last time.
After nearly 4 years of hard graft we’re proud of what we consider to be the definitive selection of Symphonic Strings Samples. However having this broad selection of tools spread across different volumes does make for complications. We also found that without unifying the main body of work, we were unable to take advantage of articulation sharing between the different volumes for greater functionality and ease of use. We also feel if you want to go blockbuster you have to go bold, if you want cinematic you have to go big. So we have decided to take every articulation, dynamic layer, round robin, legato interval and rationalize it into the ultimate encyclopaedic compendium of Symphonic strings sampling to date, recorded in London, with no expense spared. Spitfire Symphonic Strings is the ‘Daddy’.
We will initially release Spitfire Symphonic Strings as a ‘core’ product with everyone’s favorite and most diverse microphone positions C (lose), T (ree), A (mbient). Followed soon after by two expansion packs, # 1 Additional Mics & Mixes and # 2 ‘Evolutions’.
What ISN’T in Spitfire Symphonic Strings that is in Mural?
Frankly the tons of mic positions and stereo mixes. We’ve listened to many of you and it is simply the case that not all of you want, use or have space and a download capability for all these additional mics and mixes. So Spitfire Symphonic Strings contains three diverse sounding mics (Close, Tree, Ambient) which allow Symphonic Strings to be used on a variety of uses from expansive tight modern action music to sweeping romanticism.
More importantly, the structural file complications of Mural are no longer in Spitfire Symphonic Strings, so maintaining and upgrading it will become a thing of pleasure not of pain!

Before I spend forever downloading… anyone know — will this work on MAC?
hey, so i downloaded everything and followed the instructions too. my folder looks exactly like the screenshot. but kontakt still says no library found. please help me
Did you solve it? I can’t find the library!
You probably need to use the KLC library creator tool to generate a valid .nicnt file and a wallpaper. Kontakt doesn’t like a missing wallpaper.
Hey, I’m a little confused. Can someone maybe give me some light into the right direction? I’m confused about this library because it’s 210gb big. This torrent is uploaded to this site in 2020. But it’s like But i can not see this sound library on the website of Spitfire Audio. I feel like they discontinued this? And worked further with “SPITFIRE SYMPHONIC STRINGS” instead, which is a little smaller than 100gb?
I’d get both of them. But I simply don’t have the space for that.
But it’s like 6/7 years old* — Correction.
@ Composer,
I know it’s a too late reply, for your question. However, I will leave my answer behind. The first strings library recorded by Spitfire Audio is the Mural Strings library, consisting of nearly 4 volumes. Later they combined them and released them as BML Mural ensemble Strings and then The Evo, which are samples from the former 4 volumes, but in a much structured manner. Later all these library were put down from being sold. And so, the final library Spitfire Audio Symphonic Strings, came into existence with the same samples, but now, restricting themselves only to 3 mic positions, and much lesser in consuming one’s hard drive space. If you are ok with downloading huge data and need to have the advantage of having other mic positions like Outriggers…. Etc… You can go for Mural. However, I would say that The Symphonic Strings in itself is much sufficient and they have a much polished sound. You can either one, depending on your likes. Hope this helps you and others too.
