Lully & Molière - George Dandin and la Grotte de Versailles
Marguerite Louise
Gaétan Jarry, Conductor
Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687)
Molière (1622-1673)
It was on July 18th 1668 that Molière successfully performed George Dandin ou le Mari confondu, a play mixed with a sung pastoral, for "Le Grand Divertissement Royal de Versailles" offered by Louis XIV to his Court, as a celebration of the Peace of Aachen. This amusing story of a rich peasant who purchases a young noble girl includes interludes set to the splendid music of Lully. The same year sees the promising meeting between Lully and Quinault: together they write for King La Grotte de Versailles, in which Louis is glorified, and dances in person the role of a nymph. These two works, symbolic of the creative vigour of the early days of Versailles, and of the artistic appetite of a thirty-year-old Sovereign, are brought back to life thanks to Gaétan Jarry and Marguerite Louise, with incomparable taste: tambourines, flutes and musettes are part of the festivities and the trumpets proclaim the glory of Louis. Here we have a scintillating echo of the sumptuous festivities given at Versailles by Louis XIV!
Recorded from February 26th to 28th in the Crusades Room of the Palace of Versailles.
