A(n old) Discography Montserrat Figueras

NEWS: October 2006:

I recently discovered Alia Vox has a beautiful website of it's own with audio examples. This is what we have been waiting for.

The discography below is not pretending being complete. If you have additional information or notice inaccuracies, please send me an e-mail.

For more detailed information about recordings of Montserrat Figueras, I refer to the site of Jordi Savall on the Medieval Music & Arts Foundation site.

With thanks to Norbert Fohler for his additions.

Last update of the list: 2011.
