Digital Booklet
Sensational South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho shares his love for Handel’s often neglected keyboard suites. Each of these works is brilliantly full of character and life, and Cho has chosen his three favourites for his forthcoming album, The Handel Project. Brahms loved the suites too, and Cho has also recorded the latter’s spectacular Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, based on one movement from Suite No. 3. You can get a first taste of the pianist’s new album with his performance of Handel’s Minuet in G minor, as arranged by Wilhelm Kempff.

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!
