Rameau, Les Boréades

[kykla01]

fade out :)

[zaj30]

Does anyone know the name of this piece?

[rosten736]

@zaj30 It is known as Contradanse from Act 1 Scene 4. Oedipus Tyrannus has done a great job posting all the pieces from this great concert and accurately describing them all.

[zaj30]

@rosten736 Thank you.

[exitdogger]

@zaj30 its from Les Boreades. There is a great recording of the complete opera (all of which is amazing) on Erato.

[Prancer1231]

[oluaprotciv]

Eu amo demaaaais esse compositor.

[harpsinth]

@oluaprotciv

eu também ! que orquestra e que regente ...!

[defda94]

Rameau savait faire rentrer un theme dans la tete !!

[Piquet36]

Fantastic piece, astounding in its modernity.

[Fuliginosus]

Rameau was a wildman!

[cuculus50]

Gimme that oboe: it's what makes me breath

[mirandamiss94]

[surlicioames]

[blind913]

Seriously one of the strangest pieces in the french dance repertoire. And it's awesome.

[rm1475]

Para Rameau, nadie como Minkowski en mi opinión...

[sangnuku]

le mouvement repetitif ... Quelle modernite et pourtant au XVIIIeme sciecle.

Rossini, Satie ou John Cage aurraient pu inventer ce mouvement repetitif.

Formidable interpretation

[suffiice]

my god i LOVE this

[yumyumwhatzohai]

you know what's great about Rameau, and Baroque music in general, it sounds great with both fast and slow tempi!!!

Bravo Minkowski!

[tinymaggie]

this is way to fast and the bass-lines are too hushed! frans brueggen does it much better...

[kclundgren]

I love this piece from Rameau, and this video with the orchestra.

[BarroHandel]

Quién como Jean Philippe Rameau?... y eso que los músicos de su época lo rechazaban porque no seguía el legado de Jean Baptiste Lully... a ver quién lo diría excelente compositor de música operística y de cámara... El " In convertendo" es bellísimo

[fagottehautboy]

Where the hell are the clarinets!? Merde! Guess nobody was willing to build/sell/buy a pair at 392. :(

[Lidholm99]

Is this the first use of fade out in the history of music?

[AZAZADECH]

Rameau was repugnantly genius!!!

[kenavo2103]

ah ah ah! Well said! and I love it

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Wonderful. Great the music and this so living

and fresh version. Five stars and another lesson for my piano versions.

[cembalaro]

Too rushed indeed!

A Tambourin like this ought to 'sit' better, too many things goin on in the texture... they are rushing, are too early on vbad beats - and the wole thing has a 'modern'slant to it!

Ensemble is critical because of this!

[ogechter]

not agree. I've 3 or 4 different recording of this. Every tempo give different feelings. Idealy, I would prefer a first part slower, to contrast more with the fast part, which is great made in a rush.

[ogechter]

Si quelqu'un sait où on peut se procurer la vidéo de ce concert, je suis preneur. Merci d'avance.

if someone knows where I can purchase the video of this concert, please tell me. Thank you in advance.

[hermanopaz]

Toooo rushed!(just like his "Les Sauvages") :o as if he only wanted to finish soon and go to earn his money :S ... virtuous, but I can't enjoy it because of the fast tempo :(

[ogechter]

So listen slow music and leave in peace the people who enjoy this tempo...

For me, it's just fine.

[hermanopaz]

Don't talk me like that idiot!

[ogechter]

:-D 

kiss my dear.

[Bachsoboe]

Minkowski does favour brisk tempos. It works a lot of the time for me.

[Audiolink]

oh come on, it's just way too rushed like his "sauvages"

[Meyerbeer1]

The tempi is just fine.

[Audiolink]

No it isn't.

[ogechter]

Yes it is. Every tast are in the nature, and several people are thinking that the tempo is great.

[Meyerbeer1]

Wonderful music, i love the horns, oboes, bassons, tutti!

[sh1k4n]

Nice but I prefer the Overture to Castor and Pollux.

[supermonto]

eudaimonia!

[phalopalo]

maravilla !!!
