Moreover, he publicly displayed this court life, dining and retiring to his bedchamber while magnificent music played before the eyes of the crowd. Finally, it is said that he would take only a select few outstanding musicians—such as Marais and de Visée—into his bedchamber, where they would play music until he fell asleep. This album features a carefully curated selection of pieces that evoke the glory and tranquility of days gone by—the very music the king would have heard there. Performed by a group of highly accomplished musicians who have been actively performing in the French-speaking early music scene (including Valérie Barsa on the traverso and Yoko Kawakubo on the violin—all of whom are regulars in many top-tier ensembles) have delivered a performance that earnestly pursues the “serene tranquility of days gone by,” vividly captured through the engineering of Hugues Desha, a natural-sounding recording engineer known for Alpha’s early masterpieces. Whether this results in a restful sleep with the richness of a monarch or, on the contrary, leaves you captivated and mentally stimulated is entirely up to you……\nIn addition to a comprehensive liner note by Thomas Laconte, a leading scholar at the Versailles Baroque Music Center (with English and German translations), the set also includes a DVD featuring a live performance at the Palace of Versailles—a historic site that epitomizes opulence.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau de Versailles Spectacles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374674600225,"sku":"4589538762131","price":2511.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538762131.jpg?v=1787632284","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538762131","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
