| |  | Pierre Monteux & Charles Munch: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Historic Telecasts
“Munch's Valses nobles is one of the very finest accounts of the piece we have heard...perfectly paced, much more relaxed than we hear nowadays and with plenty of time for the artists to breathe. This is a model of Ravel style and, watching Munch, one realizes how naturally his charm captivates his players.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

This collection of five operas, and a rarely performed grand motet, offers a glimpse into the magnificent output of one of the leading French composers of the Baroque era. Jean-Philippe Rameau is renowned for his use of melody, particularly in the operatic field and this 11-DVD set brings together some of the most lavish and splendid productions of his work, with some of the leading exponents of early music performance. Running time 19 hours 5 mins Region Code All regions Picture format 16:9 Anamorphic Sound format 2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTS except Les Boréades which is 5.1 Dolby Digital Menu languages EN Subtitles: Les Boréades EN/DE/FR/ES / Castor Et Pollux EN/FR/DE/ES/IT/NE Il Convetendo EN/FR/DE/ES/IT / Les Indes Galantes EN/FR/DE/ES/IT Les Paladins EN/FR/DE/ES/IT/ Zoroastre EN/FR/DE/ES/IT “the Paris production by Robert Carsen of Rameau's astonishing last opera, Les Boréades, is brilliantly sumptuous if cold, while Pierre Audi's typically sharp and forceful Castor et Pollux from Amsterdam is eloquent. Andrie Serban's Les Indes galantes is a riot of fun, but pick of the bunch is José Montalvo's mingling of video, dance and animal fantasy in Les Paladins, one of the most deliciously clever stagings of recent times, with superbly lively music from Christie's forces.” The Observer, 1st May 2011 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
