Concert Pour La Reine Marie-Antoinette Au Petit Trianon Les Français À L'époque de Mozart, Cisèlent Pour Leur Reine Le Précieux Murmure Des Harpes Et Du Clavecin

Released by the French label Erato under the catalog number LDE 3337, this recording serves as a curated exploration of the musical atmosphere surrounding Marie-Antoinette at the Petit Trianon. Produced during the mid-20th century, the album aims to evoke the specific soundscapes of the late 18th-century French court, centering on the works of composers such as François-Joseph Gossec, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and Johann Schobert.

The album is designed to highlight the refined, intimate character of the chamber music that would have defined the Queen’s private salons. By grouping these specific composers, the recording invites listeners to experience the dialogue between the harp and harpsichord, instruments synonymous with the elegance of the pre-revolutionary era. It was received as a scholarly effort to capture the sonic textures of Mozart-era France through a dedicated, period-conscious selection of works.
