Zingarelli - Giulietta e Romeo
Zingarelli - Giulietta e Romeo
Who was not seized by the love of Romeo and Juliet? Napoleon, that great man of war, who was said to be bloodthirsty, was no exception. Franco Fagioli and Adèle Charvet reunite the formidable duet of the castrato Crescentini and the adored Grassini - a tribute to this unknown Bonaparte !
Vivaldi & Guido - Le Quattro Stagioni
Vivaldi & Guido - Le Quattro Stagioni
Here, at last reunited, are two works on the same programme, yet so different: to the well-known virtuosity of Vivaldi's work, Guido's Seasons contrast a mixture of French good taste and Italian features. So who would have inspired whom?
Couperin - Leçons de ténèbres
In his Leçons de ténèbres, Couperin relies on a clever play of contrasts, between sorrow and hope, Hell and Paradise, high and low notes, thus translating the very essence of Holy Week. From the heart of the Chapelle Royale, relive the painful but salutary journey of Christ to Jerusalem !
Pergolèse & Vivaldi - Stabat Mater for two castrati
Pergolèse & Vivaldi - Stabat Mater for two castrati
There is no pain comparable to the one felt by a mother witnessing her son's agony, crucified on the Cross. It is a testimony of love, resignation and courage. A testimony that the two heavenly voices of Samuel Mariño and Filippo Mineccia revive with a tender and powerful emotion.
Noëls baroques à Versailles
There is no doubt that in the Ancien Régime, Christmas was a religious and musical holiday! For this recording, popular music and virtuoso talents come together, masterful organ and angelic voices respond to each other, divine promise and earthly jubilation mingle, to offer us a royal Christmas!
Le Grand Jeu
The dexterity, the passion, and the fervour of Gaétan Jarry are combined here to make the notes of the Great Organ resonate in the heart of the Chapelle Royale; a memorable moment in the tumultuous history of this instrument and a vibrant tribute to the greatest Baroque works!
Dandrieu - Magnificats
Both grandiloquent and sophisticated, Dandrieu's organ pieces, such as his Magnificats and Noëls, cannot let anyone be unmoved. In this recording, Jean-Baptiste Robin's deft hands and masterful gestures reveal the former organist of the Chapelle Royale's talent and genius!
Ton Koopman - Great Organ 1710

Messiah
Free access
Just as King George II could not contain his enthusiasm when he heard the mythical Hallejuah! and rose to his feet in applause, our ears cannot remain unmoved when faced with this monument to Handel's sacred music, which Hervé Niquet, at the height of his art, has come to meet. For a dazzling edification of the soul à l'anglaise!
The Ghosts of Versailles
Free access
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!
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...
