This box set assembles the complete Monteverdi recordings that William Christie and Les Arts Florissants made for harmonia mundi over some 15 years. Together, they constantly refreshed their inspiration at the wellspring of his finest and most famous madrigals, with a memorable incursion into the sacred repertory of the Selva Morale.

"Monteverdi's reputation received a boost with the arrival in 1980 of the first of four refreshingly raw recordings by Les Arts Florissants under William Christie of madrigals, dramatic ballets and sacred music. Here were musicians alert to Monteverdi's emphasis on text and his love of improvisation, and the results are spicy and seductive." BBC Music

"This is a fascinating history of recent performance as well as a celebration of eternally powerful music." Observer
