About

This box set collects together all the recordings Café Zimmermann has made for Alpha: the fruit of many years of work, research and collaboration.

Each separate performance has been realized with the greatest care, both in selecting the interpreting artists and in seeking out the very best acoustic conditions for the recording: the instruments, locations, and ample, well-calibrated sound balance have all been perfectly captured by Hugues Deschaux and d’Aline Blondiau, who from first to last ensured an entirely unprecedented sound transparency for every instrumental line. The combination of these elements has contributed to make Café Zimmermann a landmark among baroque ensembles.

Here are sixteen CDs to celebrate the ensemble’s 20th anniversary!

Awards and reviews

March 2019

The manner of performance is vital occasional to the point of aggression, with fiercely projected rhythms offset by warmly performed slow movements. What’s for sure is that no performance is ever boring or indifferent and the sound has immense immediacy. I had a whale of a time listening.
