Over the past sixty years, several families of musicians have written the history of harmonia mundi. 1988-2018: after the success of Atys and the St Matthew Passion, the Arles years saw those families branching out and opening up to new generations with a consistency clearly visible in the artistic policy – the passion for excellence, and a certain sincerity of interpretation too, as may be seen notably in Haydn's Seasons. As well as filiations, this set gives examples of musical chemistry, encounters, new paths for exploration and even the odd amusing deviation from the norm . . . A unique and exciting story!
