As well as being a virtuoso soloist and improviser on the piano, Beethoven was also a competent violinist – an experience he put to good use in his ten sonatas for violin and piano. Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov have long cherished the project of recording them all. The immense care they have taken over documentation and performance has enabled them to get as close as possible to the composer’s intentions. Pianiste virtuose et improvisateur de génie, Beethoven était aussi un violoniste expérimenté, compétence qu’il a mise à profit dans ses dix sonates pour violon et piano. Ce projet de les enregistrer toutes, Isabelle Faust et Alexander Melnikov l’ont mûri longtemps ; ils ont accompli un immense travail de documentation et d’interprétation qui leur a permis de s’approcher au plus près des intentions du compositeur.

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!
