Description: Here’s your ultimate Versailles concept album: music written for and probably performed by the eldest daughter of Louis XVI with the performers employing a violin she owned and a harpsichord that’s part of the Versailles instrument inventory. Oh, there are also chimes and tunes from a few of the palace’s musical clocks for added atmosphere... Olivier Baumont (harpsichord), Julien Chauvin (violin).
