Digital Booklet
This album from virtuoso Finnish harpsichordist Assi Karttunen is a showcase for her amazingly expressive talent at the keyboard as she interprets a selection of works by the greatest harpsichord composer of all, François Couperin. Also on the programme are world premiere recordings by contemporary British composer Graham Lynch, a very worthy successor to Couperin with music that is expressive, descriptive, deep and exceptionally rich.
88.2 kHz / 24-bit PCM – Divine Art Studio Masters

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!
