This world premiere recording is a collaboration between Shanghai-based pianist Jenny Q Chai and New York composer Nils Vigeland, who present five works that span 40 years in their date of composition. From the canonic processes of the earliest piece here, all in due time, to the most recent, Allora e ora, this 2014 exclusive digital release is an exploration of the unique resonances of the piano, especially those created through the use of the sostenuto pedal.

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!
