A few years later, the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Marie-Antoinette provided the occasion for giving Charles-Henri Plantade's Messe des morts in her memory. In 2015, the two works were presented in a single concert at Versailles Palace. While Cherubini's Requiem, scored for mixed choir and orchestra, but without soloists, is well known, Charles-Henri Plantade's setting, which shares the same formal characteristics, is a complete discovery. It provides a striking transitional stage between the models of the Ancien Regime and early Romanticism, and displays a wealth of invention reminiscent of Mehul, Cherubini, and even Rossini. This is the first recording of Plantade's work, which was revived at the spurring of the Palazzetto Bru Zane. A noted specialist in French music and large-scale sacred pieces, Herve Niquet brings out the full strength of these two works, recorded in the Chapelle Royale at Versailles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49209875988722,"sku":"ALLP251.2","price":27.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3469817.jpg?v=1778884069","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/cherubini-le-concert-spirituel-niquet-cherubini-plantade-requiems-pour-louis-music-cd-3760014192517","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
