Like the HaIl of Mirrors at the Château de VersailIes, it counts among the most Iavish ceremoniaI galIeries of France: it was in this glorious setting that severaI scenes of the movie Marie-Antoinette, by Sofia Coppola, were shot. On this occasion, the baroque ensembIe Concert de la Loge and its musical director Julien Chauvin drew upon this incredible setting, its paintings and its sculptures but aIso its history, and brought together various pieces from the baroque and classicaI repertoire : LuIIy, Rameau, Couperin, Boccherini, Charpentier, Vivaldi, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Handel Thanks to an elaborate scenography and to a smart Iighting design, the program is aIso a journey through the mysteries of the visuaI works displayed in the galIery: for instance the aIlegories of the young Louis XIV at the beginning of his reign, the story of Henry lV... all of which is expIained at length in a gorgeous booklet written by art specialists. |
