  • Really?Oh,that's just because you are a pretencious and funny guy yourself...

    Forget political correctness and demagogy just for a while and think about it...Regards. : )

  • Rameau himself was a composer who strove to bring opera to common people and was the first who managed to do so. Prior to him in France only the nobility and the affluent could appreciate such works.

    Let´s not forget that the classical music is mostly a sophistication of the music created by common people as you can see in the popular european dances that were extensively used by baroque composers.

  • I can't help wondering why William Christie stopped working with the acknowledged experts in french baroque dance. This "modern" (read:balletic) take on baroque seems quite stiff and overheated in comparison.

  • I agree with you.

    Although I like this sort of dance performance I also prefer true baroque dance.

    I hope Mr. Christie employs french baroque dance experts again.

  • Great,great Rameau.Light & airy. Christie/Rameau totally brilliant!

  • Although I like very much "authentic" baroque operas, I think it's very interesting when someone like W.Christie puts it in a modern way. If you think about, it's modern music, something of our time, made for common people who just like music, and not just for specialists. And you can be quite sure that mr. Christie is far away from ignorant, in musical matters.

  • mwah! myes, quite divine. turn ur cassette recorders up full and put a scone in your anus, sit back and relax :D

  • first few seconds and I´m out of here

  • Rameau et la Danse, quel couple EX-TRA-OR-DI-NAIRE!!!!!

  • oh my god... and the French wonder why they have such a gay reputation? haha. and I mean gay in the nicest way possible :p

    this is pretty, if a little silly, but that's fun too huh?

  • Estoy seguro que le gustaría al mismísimo Rousseau!!

  • awesome

  • Is this available on DVD?

  • the question about "this pretentious talk of how so-called common people cannot understand beauty"... well you have an answer on Youtube. If you read the comments you'll see comments coming from people who hardly write their own langage, who are not so educated and enjoy M-A Charpentier, Lully and so many others.
