Walter Gieseking and Herbert von Karajan shared the same views regarding technical innovation in musical recording and always paid close attention to the sound quality of their production. Their artistic collaboration culminated in a series of albums made between 1951-1953 which included the greatest pieces of the concertante repertoire. Here are two iconic Romantic works by Grieg and Franck.

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!
