Digital Booklet
"My music is generous, eclectic and maximal. I prefer chaotic variety to boring unity. I like lively rhythm and ecstatic beauty". This is how William Albright (1944-1998), one of the most idiosyncratic artistic personalities of the recent American music scene, sums up his musical aesthetic. Born in Gary, Indiana, in 1944, he received his early training at Juilliard and the Eastman School of Music. He studied composition with Olivier Messiaen and others at the Paris Conservatory. As a piano and organ virtuoso, he toured America and Europe and became known to a wide audience: not only with the classical repertoire, but also as an enthusiastic interpreter of ragtime. His extensive oeuvre encompasses virtually all genres from orchestral to solo literature, with the organ playing a central role.

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!
