Grandes Orgues 1710

Ton Koopman, great Dutch organist and harpsichordist sublimating the baroque scene for five decades, here delivers us an overview of the Great Organ (Robert Cliquot/Julien Tribuot, 1710) of the Royal Chapel of Versailles, inaugurating our collection "L'Age d'Or de l'Orgue Francais" (the Golden age of French organ).

Anthology of the possibilities of this purely French style instrument, here are the two great Suites of Clermabault, published the same year as the inauguration of the instrument. Majestic pieces of Louis and Francois Couperin, masters of colours, of Daquin's Christmas music full of sap, end even a Bach choral! A master organist makes a resounding tribute to the symbolic instrument wanted for his chapel by Louis XIV.

Recorded May 2019 at the Royal Chapel of Versailles. Booklet in french, English and German.
