Digital Booklet
This is one of the earliest collaborations between organist and composer Marcel Dupré and the Mercury Living Presence label, recorded in New York during three late-night sessions at St. Thomas Church in 1957. The success of this release, featuring works by Widor and Dupré himself, motivated the label to record five additional albums in 1959 with Dupré on the organist's home turf, at Saint-Sulpice in France.

This title is a high-resolution digital transfer of material originating from an analogue recording. It may be limited in bandwidth and dynamic range by the technology available at the time of its original creation, and is offered as a high-quality documentation of a historical release. Dupré’s Triptyque was recorded October 15 and 16, 1957 and the remaining pieces on October 16, at the organ of Saint Thomas Church, New York City, on half-inch 3-track tape on Ampex 300 tape recorders, using one Schoeps M201 microphone and two Neumann KM-56s. They were first released as SR90169. Recording Director: Wilma Cozart Musical Supervisor: Harold Lawrence Chief Engineer and Technical Supervisor: C. Robert Fine Analog to Digital Transfer by John K.

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!
