Digital Booklet
"Orchestral Choice ... Janowski draws on all his operatic experience to make the melodic lines live and sing. Everything has shape and colour ... best of all is the way Janowski responds to the variety of harmonic tension in both works: the more chromatic a chord, the more space he tends to give it without ever obstructing the flow. I have no doubt that the power and refinement of this splendid recording should bring it a wide audience." - BBC Music Magazine Marek Janowski and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande present Ernest Chausson's greatest work, his Symphony in B-Flat Major, coupled with César Franck's most famous piece and his only symphony, the rarely-performed Symphony in D Minor, clearly an influence on Chausson. Both works are captured in typical excellent sound by PentaTone on this 2006 release.

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!
