Digital Booklet
Argentine pianist Martha Argerich, widely considered to be one of the greatest pianists of all time, joins up with Greek pianist Theodosia Ntokou to perform transcriptions of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, "Pastoral" & Piano Sonata No. 17, "Tempest". The Pastoral Symphony is a symphony composed by Ludwig van Beethoven and completed in 1808. It is one of Beethoven's few works containing explicitly programmatic content. "The Tempest" was composed in 1801–02. The name comes from a reference to a personal conversation with Beethoven by his associate Anton Schindler in which Schindler reports that Beethoven suggested, in passing response to his question about interpreting it and Op. 57, the Appassionata sonata, that he should read Shakespeare's Tempest.

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!
