法國路易十五時代的音樂 à madame: divertissement pour adelaïde

At the court of Versailles, the daughters of Louis XV, especially Adelaide, devoted themselves to a regular practice of music, not without talent. Many composers (Simon, Rameau, Balbastre, Cardonne, Guignon) played for them, who made them work and who dedicated to them several works.

"Madame," Entertainment for Adelaide, is a subjectively established anthology of compositions that resonated in their living room. All the works presented on this album are world premieres. Beautiful and rare nuggets, they are mingled with some unusual sounds of marvelous chimes of the Marc-Antoine Le Nepveu clock (currently placed in the Cabinet de la Meridien, located in the heart of the castle on the first floor). The recording, in the Grand Cabinet of Madame Victoire de Versailles, of two precious historical instruments from the collections of the château, faithfully restores the forgotten beauties of the Age of Enlightenment. An unusual invitation to go back in time, as the testimony of a musical afternoon at Versailles at Mesdames.
