5.0 out of 5 stars Full of life, beauty and imagination, 17 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Rameau is one of the most imaginative and inventive composers of the Baroque. This work contains some splendid dances and exquisite arias. A must of any lover of French Baroque opera. There is no libretto with this set, only a synopsis (don't let that put you off).

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificient avant-garde late Baroque masterpience , 29 Mar 2008
This work undiscovered until the late 1970's lay hidden in the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris unperformed during Rameau's lifetime or at other time after, incredible!. This recording is therefore a world premier recording. The instrumental writing is truly avant-garde. It is a very complex work and probably represents together with Rameau's first opera, Hippolyte et Aricie one of his two greatest works. That his last and first work should be his masterpieces may be explained by the fact that he did not want to push the tastes of the Paris public too much and only at the end of his life did he feel secure about writing what was really in his in mind and what he wanted to write after Hippolyte et Aricie, but which at that time did not seem to him to be what the middle class Paris public wanted, or would accept. So we should be thankful that he did at the end of his life return to his intentions of the first part of his life. It may be the first time that clarinets have been scored before the Mannheim classical/pre- classical period and included in an extended orchestral work before W. A. Mozart. Thus the work pre-figures the classical symphonic form. The scoring is very complex and magnificient, it is full of exquiste dance forms and great and rich orchestral color. The singing of the chorus is sublime and the soloists are all very fine. This is one of the all time baroque masterpieces. There is no libretto included because it is still under copyright, but is available from the publisher Stil Editions Paris for a fee. If you want only one Rameau opera this is it, if you want two masterpieces then this performance and Hippolyte et Aricie under Christie.
