| Welcome to Pristine Classical |
"The first thing to be observed about all these recent releases from Andrew Rose's Pristine Audio label is that the sound quality achieved is second to none. Even the oldest recording is made to yield exceptional results, which is sure to delight both aficionado and newcomer alike. So whether your taste is for the familiar, such as Beethoven piano music played by Schnabel, or the unfamiliar, for instance Howard Hanson conducting Charles Griffes, you are certain to be delighted with the sonic results achieved by this label. In addition, as Andrew Rose has such a vast pool of out-of-copyright recordings from which to choose for remastering, one can generally be confident that the musical performances will always be of a very high standard. There are very few, if any, musical duds in the Pristine catalogue..."

SAVE 10% on Schnabel's Beethoven Sonatas!
"Pristine has surpassed its predecessors. The sound quality made me think that the performances had been bundled into a time machine and sent into the mono Fifties -- no static, no hiss, no overbearing treble, and much truer to the live sound. Indeed, it made me rethink my conception of Schnabel." - CLASSICAL CD REVIEW
