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:
Pristine Classical MP3s are a little different: all of our music files are sold as single, long MP3 files. This can be especially important with classical music, where one of the shortcomings of MP3 files - the small gap at the start and end of every MP3 - can result in highly irrititating breaks in continuous music. The best-known example is the seamless transition from third to fourth movements in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony - a gap here is simply unacceptable!
A special MP3 Player for Windows: Foobar 2000 is a free audio player for Windows PCs which supports a wide range of formats for playback. We like it for one very good reason - it supports our MP3+CUE system! This means you'll get seamless playback of our long MP3s on your PC, with full access to individual movements or pieces, without gaps between tracks.
