How Rival Artists Won Over Louis XIV In Baroque France | How To Get Ahead | Perspective



Stephen Smith explores the flamboyant Baroque court of the Sun King, Louis XIV. Louis created the Palace of Versailles so he could surround himself with aristocrats, artists, interior designers, gardeners, wigmakers, chefs and musicians.

  1. The music, yeah. Bad. But imagine having access to film Versailles and doing such a bad job. And having a great title and premise, then bogging down the intro with hogwash.

  2. I came into the comments specifically say that the sound was bad. Unfortunately the music was too loud and I could barely hear Stephen speaking at all. So I agree that the sound mixing was very poor, nonetheless I did enjoy the documentary.

  3. Perhaps there is a secret mastermind at work here. All of the TOO LOUD MUSIC comments and likes of those comments count on the algorithm the negative remarks really don’t matter.

  4. I was looking forward to this, but couldn’t hear the narrator through the loud music so quit watching. If you do fix the sound balance, how about using some music from Louis XIV time period? He had some great composers at his court and it would add instead of distracting from the show.
