Digital Booklet
"Joseph Calleja is outstanding as Gabriele Adorno, fully vindicating the integrity and complexity of a role that some tenors have regarded as being insufficiently starry and have refused to sing. Recommended ..." - The Guardian "... Hampson is, as always, a searching interpreter, aware of the meaning and possible ambiguities of every phrase he sings ... recorded in concert in Vienna, the performance has a great sense of drama, and without any stage noise ... Massimo Zanetti presides over a fine account of the score ..." - BBC Music Magazine In 2013, the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth, American baritone Thomas Hampson participated in a highly touted performance of Simon Boccanegra in the Wiener Konzerthaus in one of his signature roles as the opera's titular character. This live recording showcases Hampson's inimitable, artistic portrayal, his nuanced view and psychologically insightful interpretation of this Verdi character. A top-notch cast surrounds Hampson, including the Italian bass Carlo Colombara, star tenor Joseph Calleja in his first major opera lead role, and Latvian soprano Kristina Opolais, a rising star in her own right. Italian conductor Massimo Zanetti was on the podium of the Wiener Symphoniker. Maltese-born Calleja has quickly become one of the most acclaimed and sought-after tenors today; having being named Gramophone's Artist of the Year for 2012 when he was only 34.

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!
