RecommendedSally Matthews (Peri), Mark Padmore (narrator), Kate Royal (soprano), Bernarda Fink (alto), Andrew Staples (tenor), Florian Boesch (bass), Soloists from Guildhall School (Quartet)

RecommendedChristina Landshamer (soprano), Maximilian Schmitt (tenor), Florian Boesch (baritone)
Collegium Vocale Gent & Orchestre des Champs-Elysees, Philippe Herreweghe
With a first-rate trio of soloists, the accomplished Collegium Vocale Gent and the period sonorities of the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées, the results are thoroughly satisfying. —

Haydn: Die Schöpfung
RecommendedAnna Lucia Richter (soprano), Maximilian Schmitt (tenor), Florian Boesch (baritone), Il Giardino Armonico, Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Giovanni Antonini

Freiburger Barockorchester, Zürcher Sing-Akademie, Pablo Heras-Casado

Ilse Eerens (soprano), Michaela Selinger (alto), Maximilian Schmitt (tenor) & Florian Boesch (bass)
Collegium Vocale Gent - Royal Flemish Philharmonic, Philippe Herreweghe

Schubert (Un)finished
Symphony No. 7 in B flat major (D 759), Lieder with orchestra
Florian Boesch (bass-baritone)
Concentus Musicus Wien, Stefan Gottfried
