Info for Au salon de Joséphine

The musical culture that Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763-1814), Empress of the French and Napoleon Bonaparte’s wife, developed with her family and at court kept pace with fashion and even shaped the French musical taste of the period. Joséphine organised weekly concerts at the Château de Malmaison, her preferred residence, that featured many of the most famous musicians in Paris and Europe. Informal musical soirées were also held on an almost daily basis. This recording presents excerpts from operas of the period transcribed for chamber performance, in which the most passionate emotions are expressed alongside nostalgic romances and alternate with instrumental works to recreate the spontaneity of a musical evening in Joséphine’s salon. This original project offers music lovers an immersion in a musical universe that is largely unknown to audiences today.

In 2022, her first recital album, „Licht in der Nacht“, was released with pianist Kunal Lahiry (Outhere/Fuga Libera label). In 2025, she made a name for herself with the album ‘Les mélodies inconnues de Bizet’ (Bizet's Unknown Melodies), released by Harmonia Mundi in cooperation with the Palazzetto Bru Zane.

Aline Zylberajch-Gester
A graduate of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique, Paris, and of the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Aline Zylberajch started her career as a harpsichordist. She contributed to the early productions of ensembles such as La Chapelle Royale, Les Musiciens du Louvre and Le Parlement de Musique, with which she performed numerous operas and oratorios.

Later, her interest in the music of the late 18th century led her naturally to an intensive involvement in the performance practice of the early piano, discovering at the same time the amazing variety of keyboard instruments that flourished all over Europe. This period, which also saw the increasing popularity of duos, trios and quartets with obbligato keyboard opened up a whole new field of research into chamber music, and new happy musical encounters. One of her other addictions is playing vocal music, from early Baroque songs to Lieder evenings, and listening to the many ways this flows through to keyboard repertoire.

She is a founding member of “Clavecin en France” society.

Her recordings have received much praise in Diapason, Classica, Gramophone, Early Music Review, Répertoire, le Monde de la Musique, etc.

Pernelle Marzorati
began playing the violin at the age of 5. In 2009, she joined the harp class at the CRD in Le Mans with Evelyne Cabaret, and discovered early music at the CRR in Tours, where she began studying the repertoires of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque on period instruments with Angélique Mauillon.

Fascinated by these historic instruments, at the age of 17 she entered the early harp class at the CNSMD in Lyon, where she obtained a master’s degree in 2022. At the same time, Pernelle is perfecting her skills on the modern harp with Christophe Truant at the CRR in Lyon. She also took an interest in classical and pre-romantic repertoires and instruments, and in 2020 went to Milan to study with harpist Mara Galassi at the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado. During her years of study at various conservatoires, Pernelle Marzorati has been able to take a full course in writing, a subject in which she has invested a great deal of time and effort, and in addition to her work as a harpist, she also arranges music for various ensembles.

The importance she attaches to teaching and transmission has led her to devote herself to several educational and cultural projects within different structures (Menus Plaisirs at the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles in 2021, educational activities and concerts at the Centre Culturel de Rencontre d’Ambronay in 2018, Les Concerts promenades at the Cité de la Musique in 2017).

She also performs with various early music ensembles (Le Concert d’Astrée, La Nébuleuse, l’Ensemble Près de votre oreille, Les Lunaisiens, Les Kapsber’girls…). She also teaches early harp at the CRR in Besançon.
