Thibaut Roussel/ Danae Monnie/ July Dessaint/ S. Dauce |
| | Description: | Night is falling. In this twilight of the reign of Louis XIV and at the end of his Grand Coucher, the king is at last free from protocol. He then orders the musicians of the
Kingâ??s Chamber, to come to him; they are the most excellent in the kingdom. These "Petits Concerts which were held in the evening before His Majesty" enabled the king to hear his preferred repertoire from all that he had loved and even danced to. Here is the â??Sleep sceneâ? from Lullyâ??s Atys, the Sombres Déserts by Lambert, the Mutine by Visée, the Grande Pièce Royale by Lalande, A Gigue by Marais, La Plainte by La Barre... Thibaut Roussel has gathered around him the finest interpreters of the French baroque repertoire, to give us, as if in a waking dream, the intimate music of this Coucher du Roi. "Let the night last", sings Le Camus, right up until Couperin's Land of Dodo... - THIBAUT ROUSSEL/DANAE MONNIE/JULY DESSAINT/S. DAUCENight is falling. In this twilight of the reign of Louis XIV and at the end of his Grand Coucher, the king is at last free from protocol. He then orders the musicians of the King's Chamber, to come to him; they are the most excellent in the kingdom. These "Petits Concerts" which were held in the evening before His Majesty enabled the king to hear his preferred repertoire from all that he had loved and even danced to. Here is the "Sleep scene" from Lully's Atys, the Sombres Deserts by Lambert, the Mutine by Visee, the Grande Piece Royale by Lalande, A Gigue by Marais, La Plainte by La Barre... Thibaut Roussel has gathered around him the finest interpreters of the French baroque repertoire, to give us, as if in a walking dream, the intimate music of this Coucher du Roi. "Let the night last," sings Le Camus, right up until Couperin's Land of Dodo."Le Coucher du Roi - Musik für Ludwig XIV" in the CD+DVD format is a richly curated audio-visual journey into the musical universe of the Sun King at Versailles. This mixed-artist production ("V/A") brings together historically informed performances of works that would have accompanied the royal coucher ritual and the intimate evening life at court. The CD presents a carefully balanced selection of vocal and instrumental pieces by various baroque composers, emphasizing elegance, ceremony, and the refined sensuality of French court music. The DVD complements the audio program with visual material that allows the listener to experience the atmosphere and staging of this repertoire in a more immersive way - for example through filmed performances in historically inspired settings, documentation elements, or concert recordings that highlight the acoustics and splendor associated with Versailles. Rather than focusing on one single star performer, this edition emphasizes stylistic breadth and the interplay of different ensembles and soloists specialized in early music, giving an impression of the diversity and sophistication of the sound world around Louis XIV. The overall concept underlines the contrast between public representation and private intimacy at court, tracing the musical arc from solemn, almost liturgical dignity to more intimate, tender pieces that would have framed the king's transition from day to night.
