Writing for pairs of instruments, unaccompanied or otherwise, is a tradition which predates notation. Two Violas Now features four new works which exploit the unique sound-world of two violas in distinctive and complementary ways. This is very much a programme of (and for) the present day. In their respective explorations of worlds from the minimally small to the unimaginably vast, from the personal to the universal, they suggest some of the preoccupations of our times and have the power to engage listeners of today. Each piece is receiving its premiere recording.

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!
