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.
Lebègue - Vêpres de la Nativité
Immerse yourself in this tender evocation of a vespers service in a late 17th century convent celebrating the work of Lebègue, one of the inventors of the "Noël"!
Miserere, Quare fremuerunt gentes, Jubilate Deo... here are three grand motets by Lully that are clearly influenced by the key events of their time! Performed sublimely by Les Epopées, under the direction of Stéphane Fuget, they take us to the heart of events and moments of the court's life.
Tiroirs Secrets - French Organ Rarities
Lucile Dollat and Michael Metzler offer a new interpretation of great organ pieces, accompanied by baroque percussion parts created for the occasion! Thus are revealed the hidden but omnipresent links between secular and religious music.
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.
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!
Corigliano - The Ghosts of Versailles
What if Beaumarchais could change the past of the victims of the Revolution? Will Marie Antoinette be able to escape her fate? In this unique work, which had its triumphant premiere in 1991 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Corigliano's music navigates between Mozart and Rossini, and takes the audience back in the myst of the French Revolution and the dreadful fate of France's last Queen!
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!
Blanchard & Colin de Blamont - La Guerre des Te Deum
Two Te Deums, two composers, an ancient custom flouted, and war broke out. The Te Deum of the Sous-Maître Blanchard was played in front of the Queen, instead of the Superintendent Colin de Blamont's one, what an outrage! Discover the scores !
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.
Against the sullen spirits and faces of winter, Bach awakens, with his Magnificat, the warm and comforting promise of salvation made to mankind. And then, all sing in unison: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour!"
