Digital Booklet
On his debut solo album for ECM, Norwegian early music performer Rolf Lislevand turns his attention to two composers from the court of Louis XIV: Robert de Visée and the Italian-born Francesco Corbetta. Lislevand delivers their masterpieces with historical awareness and an inventiveness belonging to the tradition, using two contrasting instruments. He plays the theorbo, the dark-toned and earthy king of the lutes, as well as the small Baroque guitar, with its sparkling, crystal-clear sonorities. Together these instruments create a chiaroscuro, an image in sound of the Baroque theory of the magic tension that exists between light and darkness. The intimate programme is a reminder that in the 17th century, instrumental performance was often an intimate affair, with lutenists frequently playing to only a dozen privileged listeners. "It seems that guitar players of the 17th century did exactly what guitar players have done ever since: compose music with the guitar on their knees by listening to the exciting new sounds that unexpectedly occurred when they put their fingers on new and unusual places on the fingerboard." - Rolf Lislevand

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!
