From the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, powerful music of conflict and reconciliation by great masters like Monteverdi, Byrd, and Schütz, in this classic reissue by one of the world’s pre-eminent early music ensembles.



This pioneering recording of Henry Purcell’s masterpiece was the first ever to use “early instruments.” It became a milestone in the history of recorded sound, influencing many subsequent interpretations. Digitally restored from the original analog tapes!
We salute the CD reissue, on Harmonia Mundi HMA 1901034, of a classic Boston Camerata program, recorded in France in 1979.
