Handel: Royal Fireworks at Chambord Castle

Under the direction of Hervé Niquet, 70 musicians gave a spectacular performance Handel‘s Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks preceded by the most celebrated movement of Marc- Antoine Charpentier’s Te Deum, now universally known as the signature tune of Eurovision. The music brings to mind the splendour at the court of King Louis XIV, who sojourned in Chambord on several occasions.
