Digital Booklet
"... will get your ears perked up to listen to new insights on these brilliant pieces of music. This deserves a place on the shelves of music lovers as a tribute to what can be accomplished with the art of music. Wholeheartedly recommended." - Classical Music Sentinel Considered a true audiophile gem, this breathtaking collection of works contains epics like Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre and Wagner’s Walkyries transcribed for the organ, along with other greats from the symphonic organ repertoire. Presented in a thoroughly modern rendition by Mélanie Barney, the innovative digital recording technique enhances the contemporary quality of her interpretations. The idea behind this album is to attract a larger public with transcriptions of famous pieces that are rarely played on the organ.

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!
