Lully - Phaéton
A celebration of the marvellous and of illusion, a prerogative of the Baroque, this re-creation of Lully's opera, dedicated to the son of the Sun, by Vincent Dumestre and Benjamin Lazar, enchants us with its assumed grandiloquence and its original phrasing restored, en bon françois!
Lully & Couperin & De Lalande - The Sun King's Mass
Lully & Couperin & De Lalande - The Sun King's Mass
Music was undoubtedly the heart of the many church services attended by His Most Christian Majesty, Louis XIV. The Marguerite Louise Ensemble makes these sacred notes resonate once again, thus allowing our souls to taste eternity for the time of a concert.
Cavalli - Missa 1660
Benjamin Chénier and the Galilei Consort restore the score of this 1660 mass, which sealed the marriage of the future Sun King to Maria Theresa of Austria. A royal wedding with pomp and circumstance!
Campra - L'Europe galante
Campra takes us on a journey through the romantic nations of Europe. France beats with the gallant heart of the shepherds and shepherdesses, Italy displays the Venetian masked ball, Turkey opens its seraglio of sultanas. A lively musical banter under the reign of Louis XIV!
Charpentier - Les Arts Florissans
Charpentier - Les Arts Florissans
As an allegorical masterpiece, Les Arts Florissans features Music, Poetry, Painting, and Architecture; their praise of the monarch, Louis XIV, is troubled by dissension, but Peace triumphs, as do Gaétan Jarry and Marguerite Louise in this recording, which was awarded an Opera Diamond.
Praetorius - Messe de Noël
Free access
This concert takes us back to the very special atmosphere of a Lutheran Christmas mass in Germany, on a misty morning in the 1620s: Paul McCreesh gives us the opportunity to see and hear a grandiose musical fresco that is sometimes monumental and sometimes more contemplative. The Royal Chapel replaces here the great German churches and cathedrals to give this liturgy of the past its full sacred...
Te Deum and Missa Salisburgensis
Te Deum and Missa Salisburgensis
Duration: 1h29Free access
With its fifty-three voices, six instrumental ensembles, sixteen soloists and ten trumpets and two timpani, Biber's Missa Salisburgensis is still a challenge for our artists today. Here, it is performed in a setting that matches its monumentality: the Basilica of San Giovanni in Rome, "the mother of all churches in the world".
Lully - Phaéton
Free access
A celebration of the marvellous and of illusion, a prerogative of the Baroque, this re-creation of Lully's opera, dedicated to the son of the Sun, by Vincent Dumestre and Benjamin Lazar, enchants us with its costumes that are a cross between the Baroque and the contemporary, its singular and striking make-up, and its original phrasing restored, en bon françois!
The Coronation of Louis XIV
Free access
The King enters the cathedral! Relive the coronation of Louis XIV in the Royal Chapel of Versailles thanks to this skilful reconstruction in which Sébastien Daucé and his Ensemble Correspondance and angelic Pages of the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles combine their talent to proclaim the advent of the Great King.
Vespro della Beata Vergine
Free access
The first masterpiece of sacred music, Monteverdi's mythical "Vespers" are here brought to incandescence by Raphael Pichon and his Pygmalion ensemble, using all the possibilities of the Chapelle Royale to magnify the music in echoes from the Royal Tribune to that of the Grand Orgue. A moment of musical grace.
