This carefully remastered digital release sees renowned German conductor Hermann Scherchen lead the Vienna State Opera Orchestra in performances of works by Beethoven. Somewhat uniquely, this album consists entirely of overtures by the great Austrian composer, including those for the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus, the play The Ruins of Athens, the Coriolan Overture, and several ceremonial pieces, serving as a lively and expertly performed reminder of Beethoven's achievements in theatrical and popular genres of his time.

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!
