True to the form of the tragédie lyrique, choreographer Amir Hosseinpour’s dances perfectly match the weight and meaning of both plot and music. The ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, reinforced with musicians from the Drottningholm Court Theatre Orchestra and Chorus, is expertly and passionately led into the musical stratosphere by musical director Christophe Rousset. This intensely dramatic production is captured live in vibrant High Definition video and true surround sound.

“As ever, Rameau’s scoring is ravishing, and William Christie and his Les Arts Florissants never let us lose sight of
its unique flavor. The playing and Erato’s recording are just about ideal: the instruments and voices are
perfectly balanced and crystal clear, and the depth and special effects called for give us a theatrical perspective.” Classics Today | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

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. |
