About the album

For his 80th birthday, Ton Koopman has chosen some of his favourite tracks from the many recordings he has made for Challenge Classics / Antoine Marchand since 2002. This is a celebratory collection in four parts: music for organ, for harpsichord, chamber music and recordings with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir.

"It was, of course, an almost impossible task to draw up a selection from all of the CDs I have recorded for Challenge Records, but I have tried to choose works that are very close to my heart."

Zu seinem 80. Geburtstag hat Ton Koopman einige seiner Lieblingsstücke aus den vielen Aufnahmen ausgewählt, die er seit 2002 für Challenge Classics / Antoine Marchand gemacht hat. Es handelt sich um eine Festkollektion in vier Teilen: Musik für Orgel, für Cembalo, Kammermusik und Aufnahmen mit dem Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir.

„Es war natürlich eine fast unmögliche Aufgabe, eine Auswahl aus allen CDs zu treffen, die ich für Challenge Records aufgenommen habe, aber ich habe versucht, Werke auszuwählen, die mir sehr am Herzen liegen.“

Frankfurter Allgemeine, 02-10-2024

...if you want a good and representative choice from my repertoire of the past twenty years, this is a beautiful box that represents me on four CDs as an organist, harpsichordist, conductor and chamber musician. - Ton Koopman “The box provides a wonderful cross-section of everything we have released at Challenge Classics. We did beautiful and wild things there. Like recording the complete Well-Tempered Clavier in two days with Erato, we would no longer be able to do that. We're getting older after all." - Tini Mathot
