[zarbithechti]

Cette version Marc Minkowski est formidable, et Mireille Delunsch (ici) et Paul Agnew (Platée) — et toute la distribution — sont formidables : un pur régal !

[batoud]

que c'est jouissif. à écouter , et à réécouter.

[violinhunter2]

Rameau etait un genie!!! Bravo!!

[gabe2ricco]

J'adore! Il est génial Monsieur Rameau!

[Varese52]

After hearing Rameau one has a sense of where Berlioz comes from, even if he himself said that Gluck was his primary inspiration, there is no question that something of this affective writing found its way, however coincidentally, into Berlioz's music.

[StCorentin]

@Varese52

Rameau and Berlioz have' in common a sense of orchestral colours.

[deLevand]

Vive l'opera baroque! Vive Monsieur Rameau!

[fluffynamedkimba]

this is just so beautiful

[deLevand]

Est-ce que c'est la scene de la finale de l'opera?

Is it a final scene of this opera?

E la scena della finale di quest'opera?

Czy to jest scena z finału tej opery?

[mgpoliveira]

No, it is the end of the second act. There is still much more of the opera after that scene.

[wolfgang7445]

if only Bach wrote opera...

[mgpoliveira]

Bach did not write operas but you can have a glimpse of how it would be by listening to some of his secular cantatas, like the Kaffee kantate and others.

[reinpost]

And from some of his pieces it's apparent that Bach was a huge Rameau fan ...

[mgpoliveira]

For sure, french baroque composers had a great influence on Bach, specially on his keyboard works, but it can also be heard on his vocal works as well.

At he beginning of his career, still in Lünenberg, as young as 15, Bach had already known and studied pieces of composers like Jean-Baptiste Lully, François Couperin and other, being Couperin and the italian Antonio Vivaldi his lifetime greatest favourites.

[P1B1U1H1]

@mgpoliveira He considered opera beneath him.

[azerty123]

LA FOLIE.(Seule d'abord, puis avec MOMUS, MERCURE, CITHERON & TOUS LES CHOEURS.) Hymen, hymen, l'Amour t'appelle Prépare à Jupiter une chaîne nouvelle, Viens couronner la nouvelle Junon. PLATEE, à ce mot de nouvelle Junon. Hé, bon, bon, bon. LA FOLIE, MOMUS, MERCURE, CITHERON, TOUS LES CHOEURS, & PLATEE, à différentes reprises. Que la flamme Qui brûle son âme, Allume ton brandon. Hé, bon, bon, bon, Venez tôt, venez donc. Hé, bon, bon, bon. Venez donc.

[YSeitek]

Merci de joindre une partie du livret.

[YSeitek]

[ilgiardinobarocco]

amazing! which opera ??

[azerty123]

Platée (as stated in the title of the video) by Rameau

[ricardofrantz]

incredibly wonderful!!!!!! no end for the beauty!

[BABAORILEY282]

NO WORDS. DIVINE.

[StCorentin]

GLOIRE A RAMEAU !

[karenmaresa]

i just love her...!!!

thanx

[LubaLoveMe]

the hymen is a myth

[GoldenAwakening]

Rameau had a great sense of humor in this ballet bouffon. The "he bon bon bon" part was quite hilarious.

Poor Platee, caught up in this sham marriage.

[NorbertZF]

The performance is, obviously, perfect however, it never ceases to amaze me as to WHY bother with original instruments and authentic performance practices and then not use period costume or ballet movements. In order to bring "new" life to the work? I don't know. But I still enjoyed this video very much and thank you!

[couperin102]

This is probably because they need to cater towards a new audience and to be honest after seeing both this version and a version using traditional methods live, i prefer this one.

[firefly467]

I saw this for the first time the other day on television and I fell in love with it, the costumes are very beautiful and imaginative. Not to mention I was laughing all the way through it, poor Platée.

[skaeggo]

I could watch this 1000 times, and It'd still not be enough. Mireille Delunsch is a goddess.

[mgpoliveira]

Platée, opera comique by Jean-Philippe Rameau.

At this scene the soloist soprano in the superb role of La Folie is Mireille Delunsch and the others are Laurent Naouri as a Satyr, Franck Leguerinel as Momus, Vincent Le Texier as Jupiter and Paul Agnew in the title role.

The orchestra is Les Musiciens du Louvre conducted by Marc Minkowski.

I love your lute videos and I am intended do buy a six course renaissance lute after George Gerle this year.

[Luthval]

Thanks for the infos. About six courses after Gerle, I play one (on Capirola for example), in A, 55cm of diapason. Very nice and clear instrument.

;-)

[mgpoliveira]

You said that you play a lute after Gerle in A. Is not the usual tuning for this intrument in G?

[Luthval]

Excellent ! name of the orchestra, singers and director ???

Thanks for posting such a jewel...
