With this first-ever complete recording of the legendary Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roy in 1990, Hugo Reyne produced a set of discs as varied as it is comprehensive. Twenty-five years later - and 300 years after the death of Louis XIV! - it still remains the benchmark version.
"This is a reissue of a long out-of-print, extremely rare set originally released by Harmonia Mundi France in 1990. At the time, I was ecstatic since not only was this the first complete recording of Michel Richard De Lalande's legendary Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roy (music for the king's suppers), but it also was the first on period instruments. It was about time! he sound is audiophile quality, well-balanced, with extraordinary instrumental clarity...recommended" (ClassicsToday)
"La Simphonie du Marais under their director Hugo Reyne are terrific. They bring this music alive with such stylish performances that bring fine textures, variety, colour and often some exotic moments, Hugo Reyne knowing just how to lift these suites to reveal every fine moment … These performances remain the benchmark … a rare bargain." (The Classical Reviewer)
