Le grand jeu: French Baroque Organ Favourites / Jarry
This is a sort of self-portrait of the Great Organ of the Royal Chapel of Versailles, delivering all its aspects, enhanced by the choice of a repertoire emblematic of the baroque era: the major classic French organ works (Couperin, Marchand, de Grigny, Corrette) composed to glorify the very specific aesthetics of instruments like that of Louis XIVâs Chapel; but also to reveal its other sound riches, transcriptions of chefs dâoeuvres, from Le Sommeil dâAtys by Lully, to the contredanses of Rameauâs BorĂ©ades. To add a new dimension to the organâs sound universe and to enhance its orchestral qualities, modern editing and âre-recordingâ processes were gently used to serve the superposition of musical voices, as if invisible hands filled in for the organist in certain works, which are true Proustâs âmadeleinesâ for GaĂ©tan Jarry. He goes all out to play the instrument of Versailles âfor the Glory of God and the Kingâ!
