The best of the Gold series now in boxed sets!

The Gold series has already become well established with its reissues of the best of harmonia mundi in lavishly designed digipaks. Now selected titles are available in sets of ten CDs.

The set devoted to choral music brings together some of the finest works in the whole western canon. Among them are Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine, Bach's Trauerode, Brahms's secular choruses, Mahler's Eighth Symphony, and Fauré's Requiem. In other words, this box invites you to a unique traversal of the choral repertoire – in more than ten hours of music! – ranging from the Baroque era to the twentieth century.

These titles were originally released between 1987 and 2005.
