Base2 Music is delighted to present the NativeDSD HD Edition of The Breton Rhapsodies, a new recording from the internationally acclaimed organist, conductor and pianist Wayne Marshall. Recorded on the magnificent Klais Organ of the National Forum of Music, Wrocław, Poland, this release captures both the grandeur of the instrument and the artistry of one of today's most distinguished organists. Produced and mastered to the highest audiophile standards, the NativeDSD HD Edition is available in Stereo and 5.1 Channel Surround Sound DSD and DXD from the Edit Master Source, allowing listeners to experience the full power, color and detail of the organ in an exceptional acoustic environment.

Four years in the making, this remarkable recording reflects the challenges of working with the internationally acclaimed conductor, pianist and organist Wayne Marshall, whose demanding schedule often required production meetings and editing sessions across Europe... As with all Base2 Music productions, special attention was given to preserving the organ’s full dynamic and frequency range. The surround master includes a dedicated subwoofer channel while maintaining full-range information in every channel, allowing listeners with capable systems to experience the immense power of the instrument’s 32-foot wooden pipes, whose lowest fundamentals descend to an astonishing 16 Hz.... - Jake Purches (recording engineer/producer) READ FULL PRODUCERS NOTE HERE

The Breton Rhapsodies centers on Camille Saint-Saëns' remarkable Trois Rhapsodies sur des Cantiques Bretons, Op. 7, a colorful and evocative work inspired by traditional Breton melodies. The program is complemented by music from César Franck, Léon Boëllmann and contemporary Canadian composer Andrew Ager, offering a compelling survey of French and French-inspired organ repertoire.
