Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra - The C Omplete Sony Recordings
Shrink-wrapped
Sony Classical will reissue its recordings by Tafelmusik, the GRAMMY-nominated period-instrument orchestra, in a new box set of 47 CDs. Originally released between 1989 and 1998, the recordings of the famed orchestra's Baroque and Classical repertoire are all being issued together for the first time in a single Sony Classical box set.
Founded in 1979, the Toronto-based ensemble is internationally acclaimed, netting awards such as the 1996 Echo Klassik (Germany's highest recording accolade) for "Best Orchestra of the Year" as well as nine Canadian JUNO Awards, "Recording of the Month" in BBC Music Magazine, Gramophone Award nomination and "Editor's Choice", and France's Diapason d'Or and CHOC de Monde de La Musique. The Washington Post declared the orchestra "has built in its special field a reputation as solid as those of the New York or Berlin philharmonics", while Gramophone Magazine named it as "one of the world's top baroque orchestras", and The New York Times summed up Tafelmusik's achievements, writing that "beyond its impeccable discipline and luminous textures, the group displays an expressive sensibility that transcends the instruments, whether strung with gut or wire".
