sample:
Schubert's
Quartettsatz ('Quartet movement'), now numbered as Schubert's
12th Quartet, like the 'Unfinished' Symphony stands as a portion by itself,
a work of true genius. Thought to have been written around 1820, and as
a manuscript that for a time belonged to Brahms, it was finally published
in 1870, 42 years after the composer's death.
This beautiful recording by one of the 78rpm era's greatest quartets was
issued as a single disc by HMV in the UK, and has seen little attention
since. When you hear their fabulous interpretation and the superb recording
quality you may well ask yourself why it's been kept under wraps for so
long!
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
