PAMX002

Excerpt from Fauré's Ballade:

Welcome to our world!

This collection of beautiful and inspirational music from some of the greatest performers of the twentieth century is an ideal introduction to the musical world of Pristine Audio. Each one of the twelve tracks included on this MP3-only recording has been lovingly restored from the original discs by Andrew Rose and Peter Harrison for release by Pristine Audio during 2005-6.

With a collection spanning the entire range of classical music, from the medieval Gregorian Chant of the Monks of Beuron Abbey, through Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, to the late Romanticism of legendary 'lost' British composer, George Butterworth, who died tragically in the battlefields of the First World War, and the early modernism of Debussy, there is something inspirational here for everyone.

The MP3 can be transferred to CD with the help of the cue-sheet and instructions included in this download - together with full colour printable covers to slot into a jewel-case. This makes an idea gift idea to introduce a friend or loved one to the wonderful world of Pristine Audio's music!

FAQ
FLAC info

FLAC downloads perfectly match CD quality or higher.

More...

FLAC downloads use lossless compression - when replayed or transferred to disc they are bit- identical to original recordings.

16 BIT files are at full CD resolution, identical to our CD masters.

24 BIT files are at higher, studio master resolution, identical to our finished master files. They are not suitable for CD replay.

Please ensure you can play our 16 & 24 bit FLAC files before purchase - try our test files here.

Not all media players support FLAC yet, so you may need to convert to WAV or AIFF before playback. See our FLAC help guide and our General Help

FLAC downloads come as a series of tracks in a ZIP archive file.

 

MP3 info

Our MP3 files are encoded at the highest available bitrates.

More...

Our MP3 files are encoded at at a constant rate of 320kbps for all issues since mid-August 2008, and using the LAME encoder at high variable bitrate settings for older issues.

Each recording is presented as a single, long MP3 which can be split using the CUE sheet at the bottom of the page, automatically adding track titles and other tag information.

Most modern CD writing programs such as Nero and Burrrn can write these files directly to CD with all track information added using MP3+CUE - see our tutorial

Alternatively a cue splitter program can automatically cut and name the MP3 into individual MP3 tracks

There are also media players which use the MP3+CUE system, allowing gapless playback of all long MP3 files - essential for opera and many other classical works
