Digital Booklet
Orfordness was written by modern British composer David Gorton for pianist Zubin Kanga, who first performed it in 2012. Named after a secret military testing site in England in operation from the first World War until 1993, the movements represent the activity on site, from development of secret weapons and radar systems to alleged encounters with UFOs. The rest of the programme includes the Kreutzer Quartet on two pieces, oboist Christopher Redgate and, on the closing work the Cello Sonata No. 2, cellist Neil Heyde.

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!
