"...one of the best Messiaen interpreters around...“ - The Guardian Acclaimed French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard takes on the massive project of performing and recording Messiaen's most demanding piano composition. The Catalogue d’Oiseaux is a grand hymn dedicated to the marvels of nature and the beauty of bird songs; Aimard captures Messiaen's colorful sonic landscapes throughout this complex program.

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!
