J. P. Rameau - Lea Paladins - Récitatif et Air en trio

Jean Philippe Rameau (1683 - 1764)
Les Paladins (Comédie-ballet in 3 acts, 1760), libretto by Duplat de Monticourt after a fable by La Fontaine - Récitatif et Air en trio -
Stéphanie dOustrac (Argie), François Piolino (Manto), René Schirrer (Anselme), Les Arts Florissants, William Christie (dir.). - Théâtre du Châtelet 2004 -

Inspired by a fable by La Fontaine, Rameau produced perhaps his most brilliant music for his penultimate great work, blending reality and the surreal on several levels. This passionate new production by José Montalvo, stunningly choreographed by Montalvo and Dominique Hervieu, sets new standards in entertainment, charm and ingenuity. The sharp and spectacular multimedia staging does full justice to Rameaus dazzling burlesque, confirming Olivier Rouvières statement that Les Paladins is the last laugh of a witty 77-year old composer. Recorded live in 2004 at the Paris Théâtre du Châtelet in true surround sound, both the virtuoso cast and Les Arts Florissants are in top form, clearly enjoying themselves in the masterful hands of William Christie.
