Utterly wonderful. Where would we be without the perception, foresight and expertise of Robert King. This is such a glorious realisation. ❤️

Playing this in the royal chapel of Versailles is quite disrespectful. The monarchs of France would never have allowed music for usurpers to be played. They supported the house of Stuart.
