Digital Booklet
"... if you have even just a passing interest in music of this era, this recording is well worth a listen." - Fanfare "... a fascinating insight ... engaging and well-recorded ... a brilliant recording, led by a committed conductor and researcher ..." - PopMatters.com "... the recording is gorgeous, giving finely balanced and well-placed performances of these works ... anyone with an interest in off the beaten track late 18th century music owes it to himself to obtain this ..." - American Record Guide Featuring world premieres of music from the Netherlands' own symphonic tradition, this recording from the New Dutch Academy Chamber Orchestra presents a panorama of Dutch crown jewels by composers active at the 18th century Court of Orange in The Hague. It is also the first album ever to document this aspect of the Netherlands' rich musical heritage. The music was rediscovered by conductor Simon Murphy and the orchestra's own research lab in a seven year, international project preceding the recording sessions in June 2009.

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!
