Digital Booklet
The genesis of this digital-only release is a story of connections and relationships. Violinist Jean-Frédéric Molard’s professor was himself a student of Andre Gertler, a friend of Bartók. Consequently, the interpretation Molard presents here is a mixture of this oral heritage and of personal research on the various editions of the score, enriched by the study of the correspondence between the composer and Yehudi Menuhin, to whom the work is dedicated. Another connection exists between the two composers featured on this programme. Bartók, by beginning his sonata with a Tempo di ciaccona, creates a parallel with Bach’s very famous Chaconne, the last movement of his monumental Partita No. 2, demonstrating to what degree Bach influenced the history of writing for solo violin.

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!
