Tears can be a marvelous expression of human pain. In this recording they have inspired the Alerĭon ensemble to undertake an intensive look at the elegiac aspect of madrigal composition during the Elizabethan period. This art form has an incredible inward beauty and emerges here as a musical lachrymarium. Alerion is made up of internationally trained and working singers: From Norway to Italy, from Hungary to France - this makes the ensemble as European as the repertoire that is sung.

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!
