FESTIN ROYAL DE MONSEIGNEUR LE COMTE D’ARTOIS
Versailles 1773
Works by Francoeur, Rameau, Mondonville, Dauvergne, Royer, Bury, Berton...
Les Ambassadeurs - La Grande Ecurie
Alexis Kossenko, conductor
In the Versailles of the Kings of France, music was omnipresent at the great ceremonial feasts, Louis XV had the Opéra Royal built in 1770 to house the official wedding celebrations of his three grandchildren. The cornerstone of the ceremony was the grand ceremonial dinner, accompagnied throughout by music that covered the hubbub of the assembled courtiers and the noise of the service at table. For the wedding of the Comte d'Artois (the future Charles X) in 1773, the orchestral refinement was matched only by the dramatic power and choreographic energy of the setting. Alexis Kossenko gives these festive pieces the luxury of being performed by a full orchestra, on the very stage where they were performed for this historic wedding !
Recorded from October 2nd to 4th 2022 at the Royal Opera of the Château de Versailles.
