5.0 out of 5 stars The Triumph of Love, 16 Aug 2004

By	S. Lewis "Sash" (Belgique) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

That's what the DVD supplement on the second disc is called, and those are exactly the words to sum up Rameau's miraculous last opera and its equally miraculous realisation by William Christie and Robert Carsen. No tasteless contemporary exaggerations; no twee camping up a past this opera never knew, because its first performance only took place in the twentieth century. No matter how improbable the story may seem, this staging, this conducting make it psychologically real, immediate, terrifying and finally sublime. The singers are beyond praise; the dancers are an enchantment; the musicians need no comment - they're Christie and Co. And I'll never see an umbrella again without thinking of this opera, and especially of Boreas/Naouri in the opera's last moment!

3.0 out of 5 stars Frenetic distraction, 18 Oct 2006

By	A. Spencer (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We've been treated to some stupendous productions on DVD of Rameau op�ras-ballets in recent years, not least by William Christie and his Arts Florissants (Les Indes Gallantes, Les Paladins). This version of Les Bor�ades looked too good to miss, with old favourites in this repertoire like Agnew and Naouri performing alongside well-known names like Bonney and Spence. I found much to admire in the rather dark staging and the effective use of 1940's costumes (though that won't be to everyone's taste) but I was disappointed by two things. First, Bonney's French diction simply didn't sound French (maybe that's just my ignorance of the language). Second, much more importantly, the La La La Human Steps choreography was hopelessly distracting. The dancers gyrated and jerked as though on amphetamines, and merely served to detract from the overall effect. None of it seemed to have anything to do with any conception of baroque style, especially when compared with the magnificent choreography in the other two DVDs (Li for Les Indes Gallantes, Montalvo/Hervieu for Les Paladins) or indeed Scozzi's choreography for Minkowski's Plat�e. And this is bad news when you consider that Rameau is as much 'ballet' as 'op�ra'.
