Philippe Herreweghe: his essential recordings

Among the nearly one hundred releases he launched for harmonia mundi between 1978 and 2008, many have become reference recordings. Whether at the head of the Collegium Vocale Gent (Bach cantatas and passions), la Chapelle Royale (French Baroque music), the Ensemble Vocal Européen (Renaissance music), the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées (18th- and 19th-century repertoire), or Musique Oblique (contemporary composers), Philippe Herreweghe has explored nearly five centuries of repertoire with an insatiable spirit of curiosity and passion for acknowledged masterpieces.
