Digital Booklet
“[Tamestit] is his usual communicative self, and the sound he draws from the 1672 ‘Mahler’ Stradivari can hold its own in comparison with any diva past or present... Tamestit negotiates the wide-ranging arpeggios and multiple-stopping of no.15 with the greatest aplomb.” - Carlos María Solare, The Strad In his first recording for harmonia mundi, French violist Antoine Tamestit is joined by pianist Cédric Tiberghien for a rich exploration of 19th-century French repertoire for the viola. Emphasizing the instrument's songful sound, these consumate artists bring to light some delicious works by composers such as Henri Vieuxtemps and Casimir Ney alongside arrangements of arias by Bellini and Donizetti.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
