Digital Booklet
“The Piano Concerto of Vaughan Williams has been seriously undervalued… a performance as fine as this one from Ashley Wass will simply have one marvelling at the originality of the piece and its distinctive slant on the idea of a piano concerto.” - Gramophone “Ashley Wass's commanding way with the solo part is beautifully poised in the Romanza, while admirably resisting any temptation to smooth over the Toccata's hard edges. Both in the Concerto and in the more familiar territory elsewhere, James Judd secures orchestral accompaniments of brilliant colour and focus.” - BBC Music Magazine “Wass delivers the solo part with impressive command. Outstanding recorded sound.” - Classic FM Award-winning pianist Ashley Wass performs Vaughn Williams overlooked but thoroughly exuberant Piano Concerto in C Major on this Naxos release. He is joined by James Judd and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra who also perform the English composer's witty incidental music for the Greek satire The Wasps, as well as the tuneful and enduringly popular English Folk Song Suite and The Running Set.

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!
