Les Pages et les Chantres du Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles - Charpentier: Vêpres pour Saint Louis (Alpha Collection) (2004/2019)

After the success of the Red, Yellow, Blue and Pink collections (a total of fifty-six reissues), which brought the pearls from the Baroque catalogues of the house labels back into the spotlight, here are fourteen new titles offering a chance to rediscover more Baroque treasures and rarities. Like the last series, this fifth instalment also opens up to the Classical (Mozart) or Renaissance (Dufay) repertories – recordings that are an integral part of Alpha’s identity and history.

Fourteen reissues performed by the finest musicians in the field; most of these recordings received one or more awards on their first release. The discs come with proper booklets, including notes in three languages (French, English, German). Photographers from many different backgrounds illustrate the covers of the series with their works: this time the main theme is the colour white.
