Les Pages & les Chantres du Centre du musique baroque de Versailles
Olivier Schneebeli
The emblematic example of the renewal of choir schools in France in the 1980s, "Les Pages & les Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles" celebrate 20 years with their musical and pedagogical director Olivier Schneebeli. With this choir's unique combination of children's and adult voices, in the great tradition of the Versailles Chapelle royale, Schneebeli has developped the ideal instrument to showcase the French repertoire of the 17th and the 18th centuries. This exceptional boxed set invites the listener on a itinerary through the sacred materpieces of the composers of the "Grand Siècle" from the reign of Henri IV to the end of the reign of Louis XIV, and demonstrates,with the aid of numerous unpublished recordings, the birth of the musical genre most associated with Chapelle royale: the grand motet.
