Description

The young Louis XIII came to Versailles for the first time in 1607, when he accompanied his father Henry IV on a hunting trip. In 1623, he decided to have a hunting lodge built where he could stay overnight: the most beautiful palace in the world was born—solemn music sounded at the inauguration of the magnificent building, which is brought back to life on this recording. Works by Nicolas Formé, Guillaume Bouzignac, Eustache du Caurroy and others.
