Mastered for iTunes - Delivering digital music the way it was intended.

The Mariinsky label is thrilled to release the first of many albums mastered specifically with iTunes in mind, delivering music to listeners exactly the way the artists and recording engineers intended. These new recordings, mastered for iTunes, use high-resolution sourced audio to provide fans with an incredibly rich listening experience.

The label's recordings are made using the very latest technology. They are then edited together to produce masters that combine the refinement of studio recordings with the vitality and excitement of live music making. Mastered for iTunes lets music retain more of the dynamic range and energy of live performance, together with the transparency of modern high-resolution recording.

The Mariinsky label is managed by LSO Live, the London Symphony Orchestra's record label. LSO Live recordings are also being made available as Mastered for iTunes.
