On the 12th of May 1686, a huge celebration was held in Rome in honour of Louis XIV. With the grandiose Spanish Steps as a backdrop, maestro Arcangelo Corelli conducted a colossal orchestra and choir in the open air. Fast-forward to 2021, and a sumptuous reconstruction of this royal event was recorded in the Salle des Croisades at the Palace of Versailles.
Although very little is known about the works that were performed that day, the cantata text written in honour of the king has been preserved. And so, this “Trionfo Romano” has been completely reconstructed according to current knowledge, predominantly based upon Corelli’s famous Concerto grossi as well as a cantata by Alessandro Melani whose music might have, perhaps, been included in the royal celebration. As the Italians would joke: “Si non è vero, è ben trovato"!
This deconstruction/reconstruction of Corelli’s famous Opus VI is by no means sacrilegious if the arrangements practised at the time are considered. A plethora of musicians can be seen in the many prints that depict the extraordinary concerts that took place in the Piazza di Spagna in the 17th century, at the height of the Baroque movement.
With around thirty musicians conducted by Emmanuel Resche-Caserta, this ensemble is a far cry from the huge cohort that would have performed over 300 years ago, though the original concert is still aptly alluded to thanks to a continuo that features instruments such as theorbos, archlutes, a bassoon and an organ (which are joined by trumpets and timpani to acknowledge the arrival of the “greatest king in the world”). This is undeniably a new cornerstone for the young Chateau de Versailles label, whose catalogue continues to grow steadily. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Album review
On the 12th of May 1686, a huge celebration was held in Rome in honour of Louis XIV. With the grandiose Spanish Steps as a backdrop, maestro Arcangelo Corelli conducted a colossal orchestra and choir in the open air. Fast-forward to 2021, and a sumptuous reconstruction of this royal event was recorded in the Salle des Croisades at the Palace of Versailles.
Although very little is known about the works that were performed that day, the cantata text written in honour of the king has been preserved. And so, this “Trionfo Romano” has been completely reconstructed according to current knowledge, predominantly based upon Corelli’s famous Concerto grossi as well as a cantata by Alessandro Melani whose music might have, perhaps, been included in the royal celebration. As the Italians would joke: “Si non è vero, è ben trovato"!
