Digital Booklet
Award-winning Spanish Baroque violinist Lina Tur Bonet leads her ensemble Musica Alchemica on this presentation of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber's intriguing Rosary Sonatas (or Mystery Sonatas), fully rising to the challenge of this difficult and technically complex music. These pieces are unlike anything else in the violin literature, with scordatura, or unconventional instrument tuning, exhaustively explored in the cycle: each sonata calls for a different tuning and represents one of the Catholic Rosary Mysteries.

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!
