From the 17th-century Ballroom at Powis Castle, Le Jardin Secret performs music from the court of James II, including works by Couperin, Charpentier, Carissimi and Innocenzo Fede.
Katie Derham introduces a live concert of baroque music from Powis Castle in Wales inspired by the world of the exiled court of James II at St Germain en Laye in France and performed by Le Jardin Secret.
In the late 17th century, Lord Powis, a devout catholic, was one of James II's chief ministers. Following "The Glorious Revolution" in the 1680s, he followed his master into exile at St Germain en Laye, in France.
With this as inspiration, Le Jardin Sceret have created a programme of baroque music as part of Radio 3's Baroque Spring that might have featured at the royal residence in France at that time.
Their programme, which they've called "In Splendid Disgrace: Music of solace and consolation for exiled kings", features:
Andr茅 Campra: "Ad un cuore" from L'Europe Galante
Fran莽ois Couperin: Troisi猫me Pr茅lude from L'art de toucher le clavecin
Marc-Antoine Charpentier: "Ah! Qu'ils sont courts"; "Tristes D茅serts"
Marin Marais: Suite in G minor from Pi猫ces en Trio
Innocenzo Fede: "Ardo, sospiro"
Arcangelo Corelli: Sonata in F major Opus 5 number 10
Andr茅 Campra: "Ubi es, Deus meus".
