Fabio Bonizzoni, one of the leading Italian harpsichordists and organists of his generation, conducts his own orchestra La Risonanza on this recording of Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas. Bonizzoni says the choir is actually the main character of the opera, the sounding board for the most extreme feelings, a role sublimely fulfilled here by the Coro Costanzo Porta. "The charm of this opera is in that it contains everything, like Cervantes’ Don Quixote: any life experience is within it. Love, hate, death, dream, despair, the innocent and the wicked play. Purcell’s awareness in portraying such opposite feelings is amazing as well as the room that he leaves to the conductor ... as an artist in love with this opera, I want to deliver my reading; better: I want to translate Purcell’s 'sign' my own way, how much this opera is alive, lively, modern, contemporary." - Fabio Bonizzoni

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!
