5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, amazing, stylish, moving, expressive, beautiful, 13 Jun 2009

By	Steven Guy (Croydon, South Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved Le Po�me Harmonique's DVD of "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" and it is a favourite of mine. So I couldn't wait to get their new recording of "Cadmus et Hermione". I paid $50 (Australian) for it and it was worth every cent.
The work is performed in 17th century costumes and candle light. The colours are rich and the protagonists all look superb. The entire production looks fantastic - like something out of one's imagination or a dream. The whole thing is as close to perfect as anyone could ever wish for.

The cast is excellent, Andr� Morsch makes a very effective Cadmus and Claire Fefilli�tre is a beautiful looking and beautiful sounding Hermione. All the cast are excellent, in fact, and I have never seen so many pretty girls in any opera production before!
The orchestra of Le Po�me Harmonique includes:
8 dessus de violon
3 hautes-contre de violon
3 quintes de violon
5 basses de violon
2 violes de gambe
4 hautbois, fl�tes
1 cornemuse
3 bassons
2 clavecins
2 th�orbes
1 percussions
1 trompette

Lots of beautiful, colourful and sexy orchestral music comes from this ensemble. Maestro Dumestre gives us magic and lots of it!
I only hope Vincent Dumestre and his colleagues bring us many more similar productions of Lully's operas, which still remain, even today, largely unexplored.

William Christie's Les Arts Florissants recent production of Lully's "Armide" is due to be released on DVD soon. I look forward to that one!

However, do not waste a moment getting hold of "Cadmus et Hermione"! It is simply wonderful. Amazing and wonderful, and five stars aren't nearly enough!
