Various - Splendeurs Musicales Du Grand Siècle

Review by Danilo Cardoso

Splendeurs Musicales Du Grand Siècle is an exquisite album that showcases the best of classical music from the 17th century. The album features a diverse range of compositions from some of the most renowned composers of the era, including Jean-Baptiste Lully, François Couperin, and Marin Marais.

The album is a seamless blend of instrumental and vocal pieces that transport the listener to the grandeur of the French court during the reign of Louis XIV. The performances are masterful and capture the essence of the music. The use of period instruments adds an authentic touch to the recordings, making the listening experience even more immersive.

The album opens with the majestic overture to Lully's opera Armide, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other highlights include the playful and elegant Les Barricades Mystérieuses by Couperin and the hauntingly beautiful Leçons de Ténèbres by Marc-Antoine Charpentier.
