Digital Booklet
At Henry Purcell's funeral, the music he had himself written for the funeral of Queen Mary only eight months earlier was performed again for his burial. Soon after, several composers paid tribute to Purcell by writing odes in his memory, among them Jeremiah Clarke’s Ode on the Death of Henry Purcell, a deeply moving token of admiration. Like Purcell, Clarke was destined to die young, in his prime, leaving speculation about the destiny of British music had their lives been prolonged. Vincent Dumestre and Le Poème Harmonique continue their exploration of the world of Purcell and 17th century English music with this collection of masterpieces coupling two of Purcell’s most popular works with an exceptional discovery.

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!
