Digital Booklet
Famed for his sonorous tone and imposing stage presence, Leo Nucci is considered among the foremost interpreters of Verdi. On this solo recording the venerable baritone performs some of the greatest arias by the Italian maestro, reprising with instrumental accompaniment from the Italian Opera Chamber Ensemble many of the operatic roles on which he has built his illustrious career.

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!
