just Fyi not everything in that movie is historically accurate

I listen to this quite often..one of Lully's best and most soothing and beautiful chaconnes. Too bad there isn't a recording of Cadmus et Hermione on iTunes.

Excellent! Full of grace, class, and beauty. Some of the costumes were partly inspired by North American Indians of the east coast. Thank you for sharing with us your first upload!

@FRAGIORGIO1 No doubt the costumes were partly inspired by North American Indians, but the music and movements are pure French. :)

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@davehshs  I completely agree, and so I referred only to the costumes. I hope you are a Lully fan also. All the best.

[davehshs]

@FRAGIORGIO1 Yes, I'm quite fond of Lully's music, although if the portrait of him in the movie "Le Roi Danse" is at all accurate (and apparently it is), I don't think much of him as a human being.

@davehshs Yes, I know. Geniuses sometimes are part gold and part lead. Einstein, I read, could be pretty repugnant with people and made out with other women in his wife's presence.

@davehshs Yeah..he was not a nice guy. I can't believe he just stabbed Moliere in the back like that...the whole part about him having a gay affair with the King, I don't know..
