Eminent contemporary music group the Hebrides Ensemble perform an inspired collection of chamber works by British composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies from towards the end of his rich and creative career. The Scottish ensemble has personal connections with Davies works, several having been written for the group and their founder, cellist William Conway, making this a particularly special programme, with many pieces inspired by the Orkney Islands on which Davies made his home. “[The Hebrides Ensemble] are one of the great glories of Scotland.” - Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, composer

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!
