Digital Booklet
Distinguished cellist Louise Dubin pays a long-overdue tribute to French Romantic-era virtuoso cellist and composer August Franchomme on this album, bringing to light many of his long-neglected original compositions and arrangements for cello(s), most of which have remained unpublished and unheard for well over a century. As Chopin’s close friend, confidante and musical partner, Franchomme transcribed many of the Polish master’s famous piano works for cellos in various combinations; he wrote many remarkable original compositions as well. Some of the best of both are recorded here for the first time. This project is the culmination of years of research by Dubin, who is also perhaps the world’s leading scholar of Franchomme’s life and work.

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!
