L'OISEAU LYRE: The Complete FLORILEGIUM Series on LP -  203 titles comprising 282 LPs

Launched in 1973, the L'Oiseau Lyre FLORILEGIUM series was a mainstay of the worldwide early music catalogue and published over 200 issues until the LP format was abandoned in favour of CD in the late 1980s.  With their distinctive white sleeves and grey borders framing a colour reproduction of paintings contemporaneous with the music on each disc, the artistic and musical credo of the company was 'based on the most recent research into the original texts, instrumentation and performing styles of each period'. Since L'Oiseau Lyre persevered with vinyl longer than most major record companies, the last LP issues in the series date from 1989, offering a 15 year perspective on music ranging from the Medieval to the Romantic periods.
