About
The Sun King’s Paradise / Les Elemens” celebrates the music of the Parisian court at Versailles with music by the great Rebel and Marais. “The Sun King’s Paradise” was named The Observer’s ‘Classical CD of the Week’ and was awarded the Diapason d’Or.
The Palladian Ensemble (originally Rachel Podger, Pamela Thorby, Joanna Levine and William Carter) was a double-award winning group even before they released their first album, and made their Wigmore Hall debut in 1993. Gamba player Susanne Heinrich and the prize-winning violinist Rodolfo Richter replaced Joanna Levine and Rachel Podger, but the Palladian Ensemble continued to tour extensively throughout the UK enjoying consistent popularity with audiences and critics.
The Palladian Ensemble were five times winners of the prestigious Diapason d'Or Award, (1993, 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2000) and twice had albums named Gramophone "Editor's Choice".
