  • Not the best recording of this piece. Although this group does La Marais the best, try Accademia Ottoboni for the best La Forqueray.

  • @KarlAmade

    Yeah, I know what you mean, a lot of Rameau's music is meant to sound "stormy" compared to other French composers.

    The clothes are from 1740-1760, so quite wrong for being revolutionary or post rev. :P

    I work with historical clothing :) These gentlemen would wear modern cuts of clothing for their time, that was a demand, and peasants never wore clothes of this quality ;)

    But they are not wrongly dressed considering what music they play! Although, I could fancy a bit more brutal temperament, this one is a bit too polished... if you understand what I mean with temperament ? :)

  • @KarlAmade

    Yeah... but during the revolution you had to make do with what you had LOL... maybe I should have said "during" the revolution and not "after" hehehe. it's not like overnight they invented a whole new wardrobe.... unless the clothes are like decades older or something... which they don't look to be. Plus musicians and even most politicians of the revolution still dressed in old styles, they didn't look 'working class' in the early days except Marat and a few others.

  • @susumu07

    Hehehe, but the clothes are pre revolutionary ;)

  • @KarlAmade

    Because this is Rameau's music performed as it would have been after the French Revolution LOL. Rameau, unlike Lully, actually remained popular after the revolution for some reason - perhaps his music wasn't as blatantly royalist, though a lot of it was still written with aristocratic taste in mind. In any case he was popular well after his death, as Casanova attests in his memoirs... though the wigs were gone for good by that time.

  • GRANDIOSOOOOOO¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

    

  • Il giardino es estupendo!!

  • I can sleep with this melody. It´s beauty, elegant and has a violin and harpsichord, my two favourites instruments xD
