Digital Booklet
This collection of world premiere recordings from British-Vietnamese pianist Tra Nguyen is the sixth and final volume in a series. Nguyen demonstrates different aspects of Raff’s genius as a piano composer on each of these pieces, a mix of early works and more mature compositions. The melodic richness of the early Six Poèmes, dedicated to Liszt who had rescued Raff from penury, contrasts with the deftly evocative Erinnerung an Venedig which recalls a holiday in Venice. The programme also includes the lyrical Fantaisie, complemented by the languid charm of the Barcarolle and a virtuosic Valse brillante. "These are works of great emotional density where Raff fused his supreme melodic skill with complex harmonic and contrapuntal structure." - Tra Nguyen

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!
