Launched to mark harmonia mundi's 50th birthday, the hmGold series has won over the most demanding music-lovers with its outstanding artistic quality and the care lavished on its presentation. Nearly 70 titles have been released since 2008; now, as the festive season approaches, 30 of these "treasures of harmonia mundi" have been gathered together in elegant gilt boxed sets.

The ‘Baroque' box benefits from harmonia mundi's incomparable expertise in this field. Here are the key musical landmarks of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, including Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, Corelli's Concerti Grossi and Handel's Water Music, not forgetting the human voice with such works as Blow's Venus & Adonis and Charpentier's Te Deum. And the quality of the performances is on the same exalted level, in the experienced hands of René Jacobs, William Christie, Philippe Herreweghe, Chiara Banchini, and Nicholas McGegan!
