Digital Booklet
"Billy the Kid makes the stronger impression. The pace is compelling through to the end, the flavouring is sharp and fresh and it's hard to keep the feet from tapping spontaneously in the Mexican Dance." - BBC Music Magazine "Judd and his orchestra offer a pair of terrific Copland performances. Billy the Kid gets a shapely, dramatic interpretation ... a very fine release indeed." - ClassicsToday.com Conductor James Judd draws an impressive performance from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra on these works by Aaron Copland, one of the greatest American composers of the last century. An unmistakable voice, perhaps best known for his three ballets Billy the Kid (included here), Rodeo and Appalachian Spring, he produced major works in a variety of genres including two operas (The Second Hurricane and The Tender Land), film scores, symphonies, concertos, choral and chamber music, as well as making a significant contribution to the solo piano repertoire.

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!
