Digital Booklet
"Kurzak has a technique which dazzles just as vividly as her engaging stage presence ... from its initial spin, this disc left me in a blissful state of uncritical delight ... Kurzak draws great drama and meaning from the texts ... simply outstanding." - International Record Review For her second album Bel Raggio, Polish-born soprano Aleksandra Kurzak performs bel canto classics of Rossini, accompanied by the Sinfonia Varsovia and Pier Giorgio Morandi. This programme contains highlights from several of the pieces which remain at the heart of Kurzak's stage repertoire.

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!
