Les Arts Florissants 40 ANS

Dedicated to the performance of Baroque music for the last 40 years, Les Arts Florissants never cease unearthing new repertoire, much of which is rated among the finest musical achievements in the cultural life of France (Lully, de Lalande, Charpentier, Rameau), Italy (Monteverdi, Rossi) and England (Purcell, Handel) - a legacy they have made available to musicians and ensembles worldwide.

Whether intended for church services, for theatre stages or for royal entertainment, here are some of the choicest musical gems, ranging from the legendary recording of Atys to the most recent collections of airs and madrigals, to list but a few.

Nearly every musical chapter in the story of the ensemble made history and, along with hours of pure pleasure, this retrospective is sure to bring back fond memories of your first encounter with Les Arts Florissants, who have become a pillar of our collective cultural life.
