Digital Booklet
Award winner Ryan Wigglesworth conducts and plays piano on this recording of his own orchestral works, the first full-length portrait album of his compositions. Featuring an impressive cast, the centrepiece is the powerful Echo and Narcissus, superbly sung by tenor Mark Padmore and mezzo-soprano Pamela Helen Stephen, joined by a female semi-chorus. Other pieces are the song cycle Augenlieder, written for and performed by soprano Claire Booth, the Violin Concerto, presented by Hungarian violinist Barnabás Keleman and A First Book of Inventions for chamber orchestra.

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!
