Francesca Massey was the Assistant Director of Music at Durham Cathedral for a number of year and last summer moved to take up the position of Organist and Master of ther Choristers at Rochester Cathedral. This was her second solo organ album with Priory and a fitting tribute to her tenure at Durham. She is a phenomenal player and is regarded as probably the foremost female organist in the UK. Although the Duruflé organ works have been recorded many times these are the first time for them to appear in the Priory catalogue and a more thrilling and thoroughly musical performance will be hard to find. The organ at Durham is ideal in the hands of Massey.

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!
