Digital Booklet
Surely only a pianist who has studied the depths of Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier for decades, artistically and pedagogically, can afford to offer this milestone of piano literature on her debut album. Gerlinde Otto is this artist, presenting the second volume of Bach's monumental cycle, played vibrantly and with a big sound. Her Bach sings and goes directly to the heart as she offers a whole that is more than the sum of its parts and, at the same time, a chain of jewels.

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!
