Le Concert d'Astrée, founded by Emmanuelle Haïm, is celebrating two decades of promoting and performing Baroque music, from Monteverdi to Mozart.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Emmanuelle Haïm, the conductor, chose five composers for this anniversary album—Purcell, Campra, Handel, Rameau, and Vivaldi—because their music has "shone most brightly" for the ensemble over the past decade.
Recording & Production
The album includes audible stage and audience noise, indicating its live recording nature.
Recording & Production
This album is a live recording of two 20th-anniversary concerts by Le Concert d'Astrée, held in Berlin and Paris in November 2021.
Cultural Impact

Recording & Production
The Berlin concert featured Simon Rattle, the musical "godfather" of Le Concert d'Astrée, conducting a suite from Rameau's Les Boréades.
