Digital Booklet
"Five Stars. Robert Smith is an outstanding interpreter, casting eloquent and long-breathed contrapuntal lines. The airy acoustic captures the resonance of his instrument in a recording that delights and surprises." - BBC Music Magazine "... (Smith) has carefully programmed his recital for maximum interest and unfailingly takes just the right approach to each piece ... a fascinating and magnificently performed recital of attractive music." - International Record Review Viola da gambist and founding member of acclaimed Baroque trio Fantasticus, Robert Smith makes his solo recording debut with this fascinating programme of 17th century works for lyra viol. Employing new editions prepared by the performer, the majority of this stunning recital is from English composers and was sourced from manuscripts of mysterious origin housed in the British Library. Containing a varied array of composers, styles as well as unusual tunings, Smith's polished virtuoso performances on this 2014 release showcase the obvious accomplishments of the original owner and compiler of this valuable collection.

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!
