The Château de Versailles label has done marvelous work in excavating and re-creating the grand works of the French Baroque, delivering splendid performances that come as close as any contemporary recording can to putting the listener in the shoes of those who were there to hear what happened when the court at Versailles pulled out all the stops musically. The vocal-instrumental group Les Épopées ("The Epics") and its director, Stéphane Fuget, forge rich, luxuriant performances. The composer Jean-Baptiste Lully is said to have brought 150 musicians to the Parisian church performance that is re-created here; Fuget is a bit short of that, but he has about 100, with several different choirs, including a superb Versailles choir-school group, taking part along with a big instrumental ensemble, and there is not a bit of the chamber feel that so many Baroque performers, even in French genres, seem to favor. The Paris performance comes with a grim historical footnote; it was the event at which Lully speared his own foot with a heavy baton, resulting in an infection that killed him several weeks later. For physical album buyers, the booklet delves into that event and into other particulars of the performance without loading on too much detail. Sample especially the final work on the program, the exuberant grand motet Exaudiat te Dominus, which should permanently dispel any idea of Lully as a stodgy, formal composer. The Te Deum, the main attraction, is also very strong, and it is preceded by a couple of intriguing percussion processionals by the brothers Jacques Danican Philidor and André Danican Philidor, the latter also the champion chess player of the day. The recording was done in 2023 at the Chapelle Royale at Versailles, with sonorous, clear sound. It is a wonderful album that will display the capabilities of a good stereo system, and it made classical best-seller lists in early 2024.
