Digital Booklet
Playing on the 1824 Graf fortepiano housed at the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn (the last instrument owned by the composer), Russian pianist Olga Pashchenko performs the Appassionata, Les Adieux, and Waldstein sonatas, centrepieces of the piano repertoire. Using an instrument built approximately 20 years after Beethoven wrote these sonatas, Pashchenko creates a unique sound world through the use of the Graf's pedals, particularly its due corde and moderator pedals, which reveal unexpected and subtle new perspectives on these famous works.

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!
