Digital Booklet
Since her high profile victory at the 2005 Rostropovich Competition, where she became the only winner ever to have taken both the First Prize and two special jury prizes, Marie-Elisabeth Hecker is now one of the most respected cellists in classical music. For this album, her very first sonata recording, she is reunited with her partner both on the concert stage and in private life, stylish pianist Martin Helmchen. On this Brahms programme, the combination of virtuoso cellist and pianist promises a moment of true chamber music, lyrical and brimming with complicity.

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!
