The sounds of plucked, bowed, and strummed stringed instruments are a fundamental part of music and human history, sounds that we respond to in an almost instinctive way.
– Paul McGowan

The Art of HiFi: Strings is Volume 4 in Octave’s audiophile-centric series. This edition takes us on a journey of well-known stringed instruments like violin, viola and cello, but breaks into lesser heard instruments like the nyckelharpa. Each track has a prominent feature so you can truly be immersed and hear the nuanced differences between the instruments. Recorded at Octave Studios in DSD256 on the Pyramix Workstation in Pure DSD 256.

The Art of HiFi: Strings takes us on a journey of stringed instruments played by world-class musicians. Sandra Wong showcases violin and nyckelharpa with technical precision and a unique emotional execution. Well-known cellist, Zuill Bailey, never disappoints with his version of BWV 1007 Suite No. 1 in G Major by J.S. Bach. Conner Hollingsworth exhibits many different upright bass styles on the classic Up a Lazy River. Katie Mintle gives a delicate performance of The Beatles’s, Let it Bet, on the harp. Art of HiFi Volume 4 features many other stringed instruments captured perfectly in DSD256.
