Digital Booklet
“these pieces have never sounded so good. A sterling effort by Naxos and an impressive calling card for this up-and-coming conductor.” - Dan Morgan, MusicWeb International “The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra... plays with spirit and has been well trained. Singaporean conductor Darrell Ang brings to these performances an obvious love for the music, infusing them with taut rhythms, crisp attacks, and bountiful energy.” - Robert Markow, Fanfare “Ang’s conducting is generally excellent... The Down Under Folks (New Zealand Symphony) do a great job reinforcing the music’s virtues, with the proper gusto added for no extra charge.” - Don O’Connor, American Record Guide Giacomo Meyerbeer is famous for codifying the style of French grand opera at the Paris Opéra during the 19th century. This release presents orchestral overtures and interludes from some of his most famous operas, such as Les Huguenots and Robert le Diable, performed with drama by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Darrell Ang.

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!
