Born in Florence, the cradle of the Italian language, Jean‐Baptiste Lulli was the first Italian musician to settle and be fully accepted in France, at the prestigious and illustrious court of Versailles, the centre of refined taste. Lully not only accepted the French style, even more: he created it.

His sacred music is splendidly dramatic, the orchestra is full and sonorous, with important roles for the wind and percussion instruments, a feast of colours, driving rhythms and ornaments!

This new recording presents two masterpieces of French sacred music: the jubilant Te Deum and the powerful Dies Irae.

Conductor Elena Sartori revised, edited and reconstructed the orchestral parts on the basis of the 1700 Versailles score. The Allabastrina Choir and Orchestra, conducted by Elena Sartori, has recorded for Glossa, Decca and Christophorus. Elena Sartori wrote her own informative liner notes in the booklet.
