Product Description
The set devoted to choral music brings together some of the finest works in the whole western canon. Among them are Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine, Bach's Trauerode, Brahms's secular choruses, Mahler's Eighth Symphony, and Fauré's Requiem. In other words, this box invites you to a unique traversal of the choral repertoire – in more than ten hours of music! – ranging from the Baroque era to the twentieth century.
