Each month, the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles offers an approximately 90 minutes thematic playlist for an authentic sound immersion at the heart of the musical works, genres, composers and artists of the 17th and 18th centuries’s French music repertoire.
The aim is to offer customers the opportunity to listen, via online platforms, to thematic playlists created by a CMBV member or a CMBV partner artist, based on French Baroque music with musicians of the past and present. Each playlist will contain cautiously selected music pieces, within the CMBV’s recording projects with the Baroque world and its partner labels (Alpha, Aparté, Glossa, Harmonia Mundi, Château de Versailles Spectacles, etc.).
All playlists are available on the following streaming platforms: Qobuz, Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify and Deezer. To extend this listening experience, the CMBV suggests visiting boutique.cmbv.fr in order to access music records available for sale.
