Only fifty years after they were written, the Fables of La Fontaine were set to music by Louis-Nicolas Clérambault. Little known to the general public, these pieces offer a new and authentic perspective on the comical bestiary with which we are all familiar. La Chapelle Harmonique brings them to life in this recording which navigates between recitation, song and instrumental pieces and carries us into the atmosphere of the Versailles gardens for a moment of great poetry. © B Records
