Composer

Mozart et Pergolèse : Bastien & Bastienne - La servante maîtresse

Mozart and Pergolesi are in the spotlight with two iconic masterpieces sung in French and masterfully conducted by Gaétan Jarry.

Charpentier - Te Deum

Now an iconic work, Charpentier's Te Deum is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, both brilliant and profound. Let yourself be carried away by this royal and sacred work, brilliantly conducted by Valentin Tournet in the presence of the Chapelle Harmonique.

Royal Wedding Feast of the Count of Artois

From Rameau to Francoeur and Dauvergne, rediscover music in the Versailles of the Kings of France, where it was at the heart of court life, punctuating the high points and major events.

Versailles · Westminster

Set off on a musical journey between two centres of power in 17th-century Europe, Versailles and Westminster! Through these pieces, Constance Taillard highlights the desire of the English monarchs, cousins of Louis XIV, to recreate Versailles' artistic model.

Molière & Lully - Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme - Musical pieces

When the first notes of the new comédie-ballet, Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, the fruit of Lully's and Molière's genius, sounded on 14 October 1670, no one could have imagined it would reach such a posterity - four centuries later, the same lightness, vigour and ingenuity still make us laugh!

Grands Motets - Rameau

Rameau's Grands Motets, works as rare as they are exquisite, reveal a long-neglected view of the legacy of the greatest French composer of the 18th century - along these celestial notes, a talent, a genius, still in its infancy is revealed, which will come into its own in opera!

Pierre Robert - Grands Motets sur le Cantique des Cantiques

Singularly sensual, deeply moving, the Song of Songs lifts the souls of the lovers into heavens where perfect and divine love reigns supreme - it is quite logical that this story was transcribed into Grands Motets, praising the virtues of total devotion for the glory of God... and the King!

Organ concertos • Salve Regina • Saeviat Tellus - Haendel

Gaétan Jarry's deft touch is followed by Chiara Skerath's heavenly voice, the organ concertos are followed by motets for solo voice. In other words, discover here a delicious and precious 'Handelian' blend of virtuosity.

Dandrieu - Offertoires & Sonates en Trio

Incarnation, sincerity, inspiration and mastery, Dandrieu's music is a real treasure, touching the soul of everyone. Jean-Baptiste Robin and Camille Delaforge make organ and strings resound in the Chapelle Royale in the service of a visionary Dandrieu!

Grands Motets de Lully - Les Epopées - Stéphane Fuget

The great composer Jean-Baptiste Lully deployed all his musical science in his grand motets to express intense emotion. Les Epopées give a sparkling version of this music, with rich and abundant ornamentation, echoing the sun's play on Versailles's windows, mirrors and gilt.

Bach - La Passion selon Saint Matthieu

This monumental and spectacular sacred work could only come to life in the Chapelle Royale of the Château de Versailles! Raphaël Pichon and the Pygmalion ensemble thus honour this great score, which has been equally moving and unmissable for almost three centuries!

Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse

Through an original and grandiloquent staging, all the lightheartedness of Boismortier's masterpiece comes to life again, revealing an entertaining story, with multiple twists and turns, and supported by a brilliantly composed score!
