"Bach as if it was written for sax." - Erik Voermans, Het Parool Saxophonist Raaf Hekkema demonstrates his brilliant awareness to the timbre of the cello in his performance of the Bach Cello Suites arranged for saxophone. His lyrical interpretation of these suites prove to classical music listeners that the saxophone does in fact have a place in the classical music world. “...a real arrangement can deliver much more: a new composition, based on the original idea, now truly dedicated to the new instrumentation, without being slavishly true to the original notes, because they were meant for other instruments!" - Raaf Hekkema

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!
