Young Dutch pianist Hannes Minnaar presents Beethoven’s first two piano concertos, accompanied by Jan Willem de Vriend and the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra. They perform the concertos in reverse order, a highly defensible artistic decision. The more balanced and modest Piano Concerto No. 2 leads into the festiveness of the first concerto, where trumpets, clarinets and tympani come to join the orchestra. The Piano Concerto No. 2 was actually composed earlier, at least in its initial version.

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!
