Artistic directors Benjamin Perrot and Florence Bolton
Les Pages & les Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles
Conductor Olivier Schneebeli
Marc-Antoine Charpentier's singularity is particularly expressed in his sacred music, as learned as it is seductive, as poetic as it is theatrical. The Missa Assumpta est Maria, a jewel in this corpus, is conducted by Olivier Schneebeli at the head of the Pages & Chantres in its original version, accompanied by motets by two great contemporaries, Du Mont and Robert, Louis XIV's choirmasters.
