"Four Stars ... (the Sibelius symphony) receives a convincing performance from Sargent ... the BBC, even in monaural sound, manages a slickly effective Northern sheen in this music, resonant with Brahms and Tchaikovsky, but no less provocative of still, vast expanses of wintry beauty." - Audiophile Audition Sir Malcolm Sargent leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra on a vintage performance of the Symphony No. 1 by Sibelius, recorded August 1956, as well as an epic reading of Holst's The Planets from 1958. Both works have been remastered for this reissue.

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!
