Digital Booklet
Named one of the world’s finest choirs by Gramophone, Wells Cathedral Choir and director Matthew Owens offer a selection of music typically performed during the Christmas season in Wells, Somerset. With an irresistible array of popular carols and more recent pieces, this scintillating and varied programme is vividly brought to life by the combined boy and girl choristers and Vicars Choral, continuing the 1100-year-old tradition of Wells Cathedral. Featuring Jonathan Vaughn at the organ, the album includes works by David Willcocks, Andrew Carter, John Rutter and Kenneth Leighton with world premieres by Bob Chilcott, Jefferson McConnaughey and Matthew Owens.

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!
