Digital Booklet
Viola player Garth Knox couples works stretching from the 12th century to the present day and demonstrates how fragile, even arbitrary, is the line drawn between art and folk music and between old music and new sounds. Knox, joined by violoncellist Agnès Vesterman and percussionist Sylvain Lemêtre, presents his own works alongside music by Hildegard von Bingen, juxtaposing the exquisite Renaissance sounds of John Dowland against pieces by Kaija Saariaho that make subtle use of electronics. Knox also sets arrangements of traditional melodies and anonymous dance movements against Vivaldi’s D-Minor Viola d’amore Concerto: a sensuous survey of a thousand years of musical events.

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!
