At a time of gathering momentum, ALPHA is rereleasing 14 seminal BAROQUE recordings.

This series brings together the finest Baroque recordings from the Alpha and ZZT catalogues: discs singled out for honours, emblematic artists of music from that period, recordings that marked the discography...

This is also the occasion to discover or rediscover universally known works as well as world premiere recordings of rarities.

In the framework of these rereleases, the performers have been interviewed and bear witness to their view of the work and their recording several years later, and their fascinating remarks are taken up in the booklets (all trilingual: French, English, German).

Concerning the presentation of the discs, we have opted for handsome digipacks, the covers illustrated with photographs by great contemporary artists (all at Magnum) with a dominant colour as a guiding line: for this first series, we have chosen the queen of colours,
that of the gods, kings, warriors, the devil, life, violence and death... Themes omnipresent in Baroque art!
