Digital Booklet
"... a most distinguished performance of Ein Heldenleben ... it remains, both as a performance and as a recording, a version to reckon with ... a glowingly self-contained performance, gloriously played, finely characterized. The love music, the battle, the works of peace ... are all done with much style and the very finest kind of musicianship. Just what a Berlin Heldenleben ought to be." - Gramophone This reissue combines a pair of classic performances from Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker spanning almost two decades. The tone poem Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss is a 1959 recording while Wagner's Siegfried Idyll dates back to 1977.

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!
