Rameau -〈Platée〉Ouverture, Acte 1 (Marc Minkowski / Les Musiciens du Louvre)

[violinhunter2]

Minkowski has the most enviable job in the world - how lucky can one man get? Hard work and by the Grace of God....

[LordMSh]

@violinhunter2 Thanks, but the following shows on Google about him:

is a French conductor of classical music, especially known for his interpretations of French Baroque works. His mother is American, and his father was Alexandre Minkowski, a Polish......

God this is amazing

[MuseDuCafe]

Rameau, Minkowski, Les musiciens du Louvre ~ its difficult to imagine anything at all better in any way, different, perhaps, but IMHO, none better. One of those rarer alignments of personnel which are memorable for a lifetime.

I've always thought Rameau needs stronger press in the Musicologic Tomes - that Lutheran Saxon to the North getting far too much reverence ~

Rameau is way up there, if not over, that Saxon Dude :-)

[blackaddergermany]

Minkowski and Rameau: a perfect combination!

[PiroozAzDirooz]

@blackaddergermany Agreed.

[susumu07]

yikes why did i get THREE negative ratings simply for mentioning Casanova?

You'd think the more publicity a classical piece gets, the better.... even if it IS in a sappy romantic summer flick. And I am saying this as a BIG fan of Rameau.

[DarkZhana]

La forma en la que está compuesta es verdaderamente sensacional. El redescubrimiento digno de un compositor antiguo en este siglo. es el Siglo de Las Luces, la erudición es parte de nuestras vidas, la búsqueda del conocimiento absoluto está más cerca de nosotros, Rameau nos dice con su música que el orden absoluto que le antecedió ha de continuar, pero ahora en la cultura de todos, los que humildemente buscamos la felicidad.

[NjosnavelinMB]

Bravo!!! una verdadera genialidad... ^_^

[6cuerdas6]

gradioso!!!!!!!!!

Rameau is wonderful

[susumu07]

This piece was in Casanova!

[Viahandel06]

This is provocative!

I love it:D

[hidastuu]

Mr Minkowski is still the most exciting baroque conductor there is!

[violinhunter2]

@hidastuu Agree with you 100% and this orchestra is one of the very best.

[schmup53]

@hidastuu You have that right.

[olimpiarl]

my favorite opera of all times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lunchland]

What a courageous, creative mind, Rameau. For the Baroque period, the first 10 seconds of the overture are quite different...

[monsieur1jourdain]

Ce chef est un peu extrême dans ses tempi, mais ses musiciens sont toujours excellents et bien dirigés. J'adore !

[marcussalieri]

le grand siecle

[tetrafrix]

grandioso!

[ricardofrantz]

God bless France!

[alconcerto]

@ricardofrantz

I would say French Baroque. There is John Elliot Gardiner & Nicolaus Harnoncourt. I like them all to say least...

[2marieantoinette]

GOD BLESS POLAND!!!He is POLISH!

[PiroozAzDirooz]

@2marieantoinette God Bless General Jaruselsky! LOL

[frenchiecocorico1]

@2marieantoinette Unfortunately, Marc Minkowski is a french conductor born in Paris (France)) from a father Prof Alexandre Minkowski himself a french specialist of neonatality born in Paris too and a mother Anne Wade a translator with USA origins.

But certainly Marc Minkowski ancestors were polish. France gave shelter to many Polish refugees during its history and at the beginning of the WW2 was almost the only nation to fight against Nazis defending the Polland rights. Do you remenber?

[LordMSh]

@frenchiecocorico1 Mother was American and father Polish, that's what makes him great.

[violinhunter2]

@2marieantoinette Absolutely right!!!

[PiroozAzDirooz]

@ricardofrantz God Bless all the maitress of all French presidents and IMF Chief whores!
