Info for Le Clavecin de Louis XIV. La Gloire du Soleil

Amidst the pomp of the court, the young Louis XIV's ear was awakened to the charms of the harpsichord. Surrounded by the most famous harpsichordists, he explored a world in which music was still a treasure that was passed from hand to hand. While French harpsichord making was flourishing, Jacques Champion de Chambonnières published the first printed scores in 1670. From unmeasured preludes to poignant tombeaux imbued with subtle melancholy to delicate arrangements of popular airs, the harpsichord of Louis XIV echoes an era of unparalleled musical richness. Brice Sailly's sublime interpretation underlines the splendor and diversity of this golden age of the French harpsichord.
