Description:

The Great Organ Series of the Old Royal Chapel of Versailles, a collection of masterpieces by Gaëtan Jari! The grand organ of the Old Royal Chapel of Versailles was completed in 1710. The organ, which has undergone a series of alterations, including two major renovations, was restored in 1995 to its original form as much as possible. Gaëtan Jari, who has released some wonderful vocal works with his ensemble Marguerite Louise, now joins the series of works on the Château de Versailles label that showcases the organ in all its splendor. The program is full of masterpieces from the French Baroque, from originals for organ to orchestral and vocal arrangements. The last includes works by Purcell and Handel, bringing out the characteristics of the organ that have not been fully conveyed. From pieces that will make the entire chapel ring with a flourish to those that express delicate twills, this album is packed with the diversity of Baroque music and the charm of the historic organ of Versailles.
