TKC has made more than one hundred CD recordings which have sold in excess of 1,500,000 CDs and won many international awards. By supporting future recording projects you can help bring the next prize-winning project to a world audience, ensure the continuance of one of the world’s most best-recorded period instrument orchestras and also gain exclusive prestige and benefits. CDs are lasting momentos, and are ideal as personal or corporate gifts.

TKC’s recording label VIVAT launched in 2013 with a major recording, I was glad, featuring sacred music of Stanford and Parry, which was a finalist in the 2013 Gramophone Awards. This has been followed by recordings of Couperin’s vividly atmospheric Trois Leçons de Ténèbres with Carolyn Sampson and Marianne Beate Kielland, Beethoven Quartets played by the Allegri Quartet, a wonderful disc of Monteverdi madrigals, an acclaimed recording of Handel arias with countertenor Iestyn Davies, two discs of Purcell chamber music with The King's Consort, Bach's Six Cello Suites with Dutch cellist Viola de Hoog, Bach in Montecassino played by outstanding Italian organist Luca Guglielmi, two discs from the brilliant young pianist-composer Alissa Firsova, the first four volumes in our "Decades" series documenting Lieder and Song, decade by decade, through the nineteenth century (curated by Malcolm Martineau and featuring a world-class line-up of Lieder artists), a major new recording from The King’s Consort of Mendelssohn's 1833 version of Handel Israel in Ägypten, a delectable choral disc A voice from Heaven, Carolyn Sampson in Handel Abbandonata, and Purcell and Blow countertenor duets sung by Iestyn Davies and James Hall. Due for release in October 2020 are Mendelssohn's Cello Sonatas performed by Viola de Hoog, accompanied on a wonderful 1847 Erard piano by Mikayel Balyan.
