Digital Booklet
“It is rare to find, in the same artist, the very highest levels of musical talent living alongside the deepest genuine humility. None has that rare combination in higher degree than Vladimir Ashkenazy.” - Gramophone The extraordinary career of Vladimir Ashkenazy continues with this recording of J.S. Bach's French Suites, written between 1722 and 1725 while the composer was in Köthen and then Leipzig. This release marks Ashkenazy's 80th birthday, an appropriate milestone for this pianist who is renowned for his interpretations of the great German 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!
