Digital Booklet
"Having heard the Takács Quartet live on multiple occasions … I've come to expect beauty and emotional eloquence from this ensemble. This recording delivers." - Stereophile The ‘heavenly lengths’ Schumann loved in late Schubert are as much in evidence in the sublime G major quartet as in the other large-scale works of Schubert’s final years. The Takács Quartet’s earlier Hyperion recordings of Schubert were hailed as ‘near ideal’ and ‘superlative’ and this new release is every bit as fine.

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!
