Harnoncourt,Nikolaus Concentus Musicus Wien Complete Vanguard & Mhs Rec CD

it is now over half a century since Nikolaus Harnoncourt founded his Vienna Concentus Musicus. Their polished ensemble, musical finesse and their tonal sonorities have been achieved by a sound technical ability on the part of each and every individual, and by that homogeneity of outlook which exists only when musicians play together regularly. His band, has been a stimulus and an inspiration to almost all present-day practitioners of 'period' instruments. [Gramophone] (12pp book enclosed: Full notes printable online www.
