De Louis XIII à la Monarchie de Juillet / From Louis XIII to Louis-Philippe
French Organ Masters: From Titelouze to Boëly, from the dawn of the 17th century until the end of the monarchy in 1848, an anthology of French organ music from the archives of the label Tempéraments. Thirty composers, twenty performers and ensembles performing over two centuries of music on eight CDs, each programmed in the spirit of a concert, associating organ masterpieces with ten historic instruments, and different instrumental and vocal repertoire. A production coinciding with the tri-centennial of the J.-Boizard organ (1714) of the Abbey of Saint-Michel en Thiérache, an instrument associated with the Tempéraments collection from the beginning – a Radio France label co-produced with the Département de l’Aisne.
