Award-winning pianist Sarah Beth Briggs explores five sets of Variations by great masters of the genre for her fifth AVIE release – some relatively rarely heard on the concert platform. Mozart’s exquisite late Duport Variations pave the way for Beethoven, who after ‘showing the British what a treasure they have in God save the King’ threw out the rule book of traditional variation form in his beautifully crafted yet still much overlooked op 34 set. Before Briggs concludes with Brahms’s deeply poignant tribute to Robert Schumann, she plumbs the depths of Mendelssohn’s much recorded Variations Serieuses, true to the spirit of the title which indicates the composer’s desire to go far beyond merely demonstrating a pianist’s virtuoso capabilities.

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!
