DIVINS MYSTERES
Organ discoveries

Berkeley manuscript
Caumont organ manuscript, 1707

Jean-Baptiste Robin, organ

Two treasures are finally revealed to the public: the Berkeley manuscript and the Caumont manuscript contain many anonymous pieces for organ, jewels revived at last for this world premiere recording. Five Great Hymns are presented that were composed around 1700, when the French Organ School reached its peak, and many pieces organised in suites, which make the sound of the Great Organs of The Royal Chapel of Versailles (1710) resonate gloriously, in Jean Baptiste Robin’s majestic interpretation.

Recorded October 23rd to 24th 2022 at the Chapelle Royale, Château de Versailles.

Booklet French/English/German - Duration: 68'33
