Digital Booklet
During his 50 years as audiophile producer and recording engineer, Jean de la Durantaye has recorded a vast catalogue of classical performances. Just before his death in September 2022, Jean and his close friend 2xHD’s René Laflamme decided to produce a collection of some of Jean’s favourite recordings. This assortment – which includes works of Bach, Couperin, Chopin, Liszt, Bartok, and Bizet, amongst others demonstrates the versatility of Jean’s work during his long career. All the recordings in this collection were recorded in 2-track analog 15 ips tape, using two microphone techniques.

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!
