Harnoncourt Complete Sony Recordings

 

Harnoncourt Complete Sony Recordings. Large coffee book design is kind of a space waster. It does come with a large hardcover book with easier-to-read large font, but also pretty clunky. True pioneer of the early music movement, but also generally one that would manage to find fresh ideas to even the most well-known pieces.

Pietro Antonio Cesti (08.05.1623 - 10.14.1669) 400th birth anniversary. Part 3 La Dori. (Accademia Byzantina/Ottavio Dantone)

Has one of the most confusing and convoluted plots. Completely redeemed by Cesti's beautiful music.
