Digital Booklet
"There is plenty of variety and colour in Benjamin Righetti’s choice of registration and there is never a hint of generalized cathedral rumble in the pedal division ..." - Gramophone Acclaimed award-winning organist and academic Benjamin Righetti presents all six of Mendelssohn's landmark organ sonatas, rarely contained together on one album. Righetti recorded this programme on an 1834 Aloys Mooser instrument, restored in 1982, at the Cathedral Saint-Nicolas in Switzerland in October 2015.

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!
