@MaBu888 I feel exactly the same way....most of the time the best parts are the overtures and the choruses and sporadically some of the arias...and I am talking not only about Lully or Charpentier but also about Vivaldi, Handel and Bach.

This is a great performance. I can feel the intensity in each part of this beautiful overture. Sublime!
Thanks a lot for sharing this gem with us!

I just listened to Keith Richards describe in ecstatic terms the whole sound of Johnny B. Goode the 1st time he heard it. How can you really talk about music, its structure and its connections to emotions & to the world? What a wonderful invention and tool to us it is. It is itself, wonderful.

Some people snub all things Baroque as simplistic and lacking in innovation but I feel that these people miss the point entirely. Because it is precisely the absence of all the modern cleverness to which we are accustomed that is so fascinating about the Baroque sensibility. It is precisely the dependence on tradition and established forms which allowed the extraordinary unity and harmony in the artistic life of the period.

An orgasm of eternal bliss listening to this overture. Lully was surely blessed!

magnifico, muy bueno, trés bon
For some reason I only like choral parts and overtures, when it comes to operas. Solos are too... too I don't know what... :)

Yep! I agree! Well played instruments make me go to Heavens... but when the singers appear... I fall again on the ground (and sometimes... directly to Hell! :S)
