Rameau - Premier Menuet - Marie Antoinette - Les Indes Galantes

[badshans]

Baroque music is so majestic and powerful.

[mtoussieh]

Beautiful, but just imagine this with a MOVING picture... well, maybe that way we don't get distracted from the music (btw, that dame is gorgeous! Oups, already distracted, lol)

[otacs2]

@mtoussieh Thanks for your comment! You can see the Moving picture on my channel! :D

It's Kirsten Dunst

[RickisMoney]

i liked lully better, but this is a wonderful piece

[KarlAmade]

What is a shame often in today's classical performances it the lack of percussive enthusiasm - what we hear here - is some historically informed - if totally historical informed you would hear a lot more of those drums, more forte and so on :)

[MrGunterguerrero]

Jean Philippe Rameau...magnifique !

[cuoylyf]

@MrGunterguerrero Soplendi,Thank you mon amie, enjoyed very much, love, Isis

[EmperorMeowMeow]

I am into Baroque music now because of this piece =D

18th century is the most opulent period of human civilization , I think =/

[otacs2]

@EmperorMeowMeow That's great that this video made you into Baroque music, it's the same for me, this was the piece what made me into Baroque music (because of the Marie antoinette film ;) I know what you mean about copyright issues, those are very annoying

[KarlAmade]

@otacs2

Are you two into Historical Informed Baroque Performance (like what we have hear)

I will gladly make you a part of my court. :)

[otacs2]

@KarlAmade Lol, yes i'm into baroque music I think it's the best artistic period in our history ;)

[KarlAmade]

@otacs2

Historically informed?? xD

There are so many people that say the same, but actually aren't historically informed :P And I am some sort of Early Music Inquisition xD Or an "enlightener" :) What I call the Moderno-Romantic Fascist call me bad things ... well never trust fascists... they are mad... :P

[KarlAmade]

@otacs2

Urrrggh ... HERE* I'll get back to my Harpsichord keys... these won't do :P

[Affetanzt]

@otacs2 its more than baroque :) it's rococo. 

[RickisMoney]

@EmperorMeowMeow honestly preffer lully's work more, but this is a wonderful piece!

[jplully]

Great music , nice movie !

[Harmonieuniverselle]

but there is some mistakes on the movie: the room is too small for that kind of music with trumpets, the orchestra is too small, and I didn't see any trumpets in it.

[otacs2]

You mean the movie Marie Antoinette?

I know what you mean, but it's Hollywood, there are a lot of mistakes in that movie like LouisXVI played by Jason Schwartzman

But Jason Schwartzman doesn't look like Louis at all!

[Harmonieuniverselle]

Yeah, that movie.

Louis XVI was that fat, but very taler than Schwartzman.

Also Princesse de Lamballe (Mary Nighy) was blonde, and Madame du Barry, who was blonde too and very beautiful, even more than Marie-antoinette, but not on the movie where she is very ugly.

That's hollywood indeed :D

[MelissaZombie90]

not to mention madame du berry wasnt a brunette, she was a blonde and marie antoinette had pretty good sized boobs.

still a great movie though. lol

[KingCobra1984]

@otacs2 A reason for him being cast could be that he is Sofia Coppola's cousin :D

[otacs2]

@KingCobra1984 Really? Wow, long live family's ;)

[MayaH3ll]

@otacs2 This is Hollywood, whatever the History, the most important is earnings.

[MayaH3ll]

@Harmonieuniverselle May you tell me please, what is the dance in the part we can see on the picture ?

thank you in advance :)

[Harmonieuniverselle]

@MayaH3ll A menuet watch?v=cUe7vYPggns

[1y]

@Harmonieuniverselle

The room is not to small : it is the called "Galerie des Glaces" with 70 meters length and 10 meters wide = 700 square meters. It would be a pitty not to manage room for a baroque orchestra there ;-)

[pietalpha2]

nice pic!

but I thought I was going to see a live performance!!

[otacs2]

maybe, I can upload the live performance from the movie marie antoinette

[EmperorMeowMeow]

@otacs2 I want to upload it but got blocked due to some copyright issues =(
