For its 125th birthday, Deutsche Grammophon is releasing legendary recordings with highest sound standards: The new series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original four-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before. This accompanying digital transfer benefits greatly from the exciting new restoration process! Of the many recordings of Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem, Herbert von Karajan's 1972 recording is among the most admired. Alongside the Berlin Philharmonic and the Wiener Singverein, he is joined by Mirella Freni, Christa Ludwig, Carlo Cossutta and Nicolai Ghiaurov, four of the finest Verdi interpreters of his time.

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!
