"Smith’s strong, clear sound is superbly captured in a space that accentuates the disc’s existential aura of one human alone with little but his own consciousness for company." - Patrick Rucker, Gramophone "..this luxuriantly detailed reading, matched by a clean-cut recording, will not leave existing Kurtág devotees disappointed." - Philip Clark, The Strad Renowned British violinist Simon Smith presents his debut release for Resonus Classics with this collection of virtuosic works for unaccompanied violin by Belá Bartók and György Kurtág. This lyrical, expressive and dramatic repertoire is tackled with dedication and panache by Smith.

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!
