a madame: divertissement pour adelaide

opis:
Editor’s info:
At the court of Versailles, the daughters of Louis XV (referred to as 'Mesdames'), and in particular Adélaide, devoted themselves to a regular practice of music and, apparently, demonstrated talent. Numerous composers (Simon, Rameau, Balbastre, Cardonne, Guignon) played for them, worked with them, and dedicated several works to them. 'A Madame, Divertissement pour Adélaide', is an anthology, subjectively put together, of compositions that resounded in their drawing room. All the works on this programme are world premieres. These lovely, rare nuggets are mixed with a the marvellous carillons of the Marc-Antoine Le Nepveu clock (currently in the Cabinet de la Méridienne, located at the heart of the palace of Versailles, on the first floor)
