Is this CD what it appears? No - it's one of over 100 fakes, concocted in what is the most amazing musical fraud ever perpetrated.
In February 2007, Pristine Audio, in conjunction with Gramophone magazine, unearthed something quite unprecedented in the world of classical music. Here we present our findings:
Four superb Haydn piano trios from the renowned trio, newly XR-remastered
World première of the 9th is coupled with ultra-rare Mitropoulos 'London Symphony'
Fabulous new transfer of this classic Italian recording by Ward Marston
There are hundreds of historic Classical music recordings on the Pristine Audio label, and they're all here to purchase as downloads or CDs - click on the index links above or cover artwork below.
Pristine Audio has pioneered revolutionary new restoration techniques, which can be heard to fullest effect on our critically-acclaimed XR- remastered and Ambient Stereo recordings.

Go Green with FLAC downloads at Pristine Classical
Pristine Classical now offers all our downloads into the lossless FLAC format - we urge you to support this initiative in preference to buying CDs:
Zeroair miles - reduce your carbon footprint
Zero packaging - no cardboard or plastic padding
Zero plastics in manufacturing - digital files don't need it!
100% Quality - directly from our uncompressed master files
100% Open Source - FLAC isn't tied to any manufacturer
Value for money - priced by duration, so you don't buy "filler"
Immediate download - listen right away!
FLAC is an open source, lossless compression format for audio files. When you buy a CD you're buying a piece of software data encoded on a disc - when you buy a FLAC you get exactly the same piece of software data! And when you buy a 24-bit FLAC it's at even higher than CD-quality.
Playback: Many software and hardware players already support FLAC as a native format. For other devices, simply convert the FLAC into the format of your choice - WAV or AIFF files that are bit-identical to our original masters will burn straight to CD-R, or you can compress FLAC to MP3 or AAC for your iPod or MP3 player.
FLAC has no DRM - make as many copies as you like. As long as you maintain your data it will last forever. Every copy (unless lossy-compressed) will be identical to your original download so there's never any degradation in sound quality. It's the favourite lossless format with audiophiles!
