In 1725, José de Torres crafts the narrative of the royal funerals of Spain's first Bourbon monarchs. At the heart of this tribute, the Misa de difuntos for Louis I, the first Bourbon born on Iberian soil, blends with exquisite fi nesse the echoes of Versailles with the exuberant splendour of Spanish Baroque. The offering is here completed by the monumental Dies Irae by Francisco Corselli, a Franco-Italian composer, to the glory of Philip V. Alberto Miguélez Rouco revives these rare works, bringing the music of the Real Capilla de Madrid to life in the Royal Chapel of Versailles !

Recorded from January 24th to 28th 2025 at the Royal Chapel of the Château de Versailles.

Booklet French/English - Duration : 69'39.
