I'm not a fan of James Horner.. Avatar sounded like Titanic outtakes to me. The 16th note big drums and orchestra is just a bit cliche.

Wow..That was helpful. The Vienna Orch lib looks like fun.
The new choirs in Kontakt-4 should be good too.
"The choir voices can seamlessly morph the vowels ("A-E-I-O-U") while holding a key/note, which is nearly impossible with other samplers."
I think I heard some of that choir morphing in the Avatar soundtrack.

Looks like a long list of 3rd party sample libraries. Can I use Kontakt with Ableton Live? I bloody well hope so.
