Following the rebirth of the Erato label in 2013, The Erato Story provides a retrospective of the label's landmark recordings from the years between 1952, the year Erato was founded, and 2003, when it ceased operation for ten years. In its first three decades, Erato had a particular focus on French music and French artists. Although Erato diversified over the 50 years covered by this collection, it maintained a distinctive focus on French music and on Baroque repertoire; these emphases are reflected in this collection. Armin Jordan, born 1932, was a Swiss conductor renowned for his interpretations of French music. He conducted orchestras primarily in France and Switzerland, and did not make his US debut until 1985. This Erato release features his recordings of Faurés Pélleas et Mélisande Op. 80, as well as his Requiem Op. 48.
