Bravura

Once again I am off on my annual quest to find tolerable Christmas music. One of my stellar finds a year or two ago was Tom Waits' Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis. Probably my reigning favorite piece of Christmas music would be the Estonian Chamber Choir's New Joy album. And of course, there is Bach's Christmas Oratorio. And so on.

Last night, plumbing the depths of the interwebs, I chanced upon Bravura Records, a recording studio that deals with producing high-resolution digital music. They have some utterly wonderful freebies as their Christmas gift to the user. These are 24-bit jazz pieces in AIF format (iTunes-compatible, but please play them through the best audio equipment you have for full effect), and even at 90 - 100mb per, they are well worth the download. They sound great, and only begin to hint at Bravura's even-higher res normal offerings. Read about how Bravura came to be, and get your free downloads here.
