Concerto de' Cavalieri also enjoys a busy recording activity for Sony. Among its numerous albums, it has started The Baroque Project, a long standing project with Sony Classical on Italian Opera in the 18th Century, which has arrived at the fifth volume in the series, including many world premiere recordings.
