Haydn-Vivaldi: the match of the monsters integrals

2021-03-02T18:28:39.038Z


Despite the crisis, the Alpha and Naïve labels are continuing their discographic marathons devoted to the two composers, and intend to stay the course: 34 discs to be recorded until 2032 for the first, and 450 scores to burn for the second until 2028.


Will the match of the century be played in the bins?

While the health crisis has not spared the record market, now closely linked - both for production and distribution - to concerts, two French labels are proudly taking the limelight.

And without hesitation display their ambition to go to the end of their projects of complete discography.

They are to this first quarter of the 21st century what the complete Bach cantatas by Harnoncourt and Leonhardt were to the second half of the previous one: sweet madness.
