Description

“Le Retour de Dieux sur la Terre” and “Le Caprice d’Erato” are part of the tradition of occasional music inherited from Louis XIV, which served to illustrate the great events of the court: they were composed four years apart, the first to celebrate the wedding of Louis XV and Maria Leszczynska in 1725 and the second for the birth of their first son in 1729. These divertissements are truly little concert operas, in which magnificent grand narratives, triumphant overtures, surprising dances, solemn choruses and grandiose finales follow one another. Alexis Kossenko lets us enjoy the joys of these musical evenings here, which gradually conquered all the salons of the 18th century and which even today invite us to celebrate.
