Digital Booklet
"... to hear the performance was a delight ... this was all so well done ... a glowing entry in the annals of recorded English opera." - MusicWeb International "... music that is warm and glowing yet astringent, too ... any lack of studio polish is overridden by the flow conductor Kenneth Woods brings to the score and by the principal singers, especially April Fredrick, who gleams in the title role." - The Guardian The highly-acclaimed world premiere production of John Joubert's opera Jane Eyre, starring soprano April Fredrick with the English Symphony Orchestra, was recorded on October 25, 2016 at Ruddock Performing Arts Centre in Birmingham. This double album capturing the epic event also marks Joubert's 90th birthday in March 2017.

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!
