Visitors to the Palace of Versailles have for many years had their experience of walking around the glorious fountains and small lakes in the gardens enhanced by the production of music of the period played through discreetly placed speakers. This year a new version of these “Grandes Eaux Musicales” has been put together by Les Talens Lyriques and its director Christophe Rousset. The music featured is by Rameau, Lully, Gluck, Demarest, and Porpora.
