Marc-Antoine Charpentier, William Christie, ...

Harmonia Mundi (France), 2005

Purcell: The Fairy Queen /Les Arts Florissants * Christie

Henry Purcell, William Christie, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1992

A dream...
Unbelievably beautiful music performed exquisitely by Les Arts and the marvellous singers. They all manage to create a wonderful fairy-tale atmosphere and to express the characters' various feelings with subtlety and heartfelt emotion. Listen to this heavenly music and ...

Georg Frideric Handel: Music for Cannons
George Frederick Handel, Graham O'Reilly, ...

l'empreinte digitale, 2006

"Cannons" was the spectacular estate (paid for by spectacular graft) of James Brydges, Earl of Chandos and paymaster to the British army. Handel spent much of 1717-18 in residence at Cannons, where he composed, among other things, 11 church anthems now known as the Chandos Anthems. While these pieces have since become favorites of choirs and ...

Cavalli - L'Ormindo / Les Paladins, Correas

Francesco Cavalli, Jerome Correas, ...

New Pan Classics, 2007

Lovely Baroque opera, excellent recording
Although opera companies are much more adventurous about mounting productions of works written before Mozart than they used to be, there are still gaps in the repertory. While performances of Monteverdi (early seventeenth century) and Handel (early eighteenth-century) ...

Rameau - Castor & Pollux

Jean-Philippe Rameau, William Christie, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1993

Best of genre
Castor & Pollux is a moving story about love and sacrifice set to beautiful music, showing Rameau at the height of his talent (although some historic evidence suggests that despite his innovations Rameau never quite dared to go as far as his talent would have allowed ...

Lully - Persée / Les Talens Lyriques, Rousset

Jean-Baptiste Lully, Christophe Rousset, ...

Astree, 2002

Lully's Masterpiece
After three centuries of undeserved obscurity, the lyric tragedies of Jean-Baptiste Lully are finally being rediscovered and revived. Persée (1682) is one of Lully's finest compositions-a true lost masterpiece. Christophe Rousset and his singers and players have done ...

Couperin - Motets / Piau, Pelon, Fouchécourt, Corréas, Les talens lyriques, Rousset

François Couperin, Christophe Rousset, ...

Virgin / EMI Int'l, 1999

It's a Privilege to be Able to Listen to this Music
François Couperin (1668-1733), known als 'le Grand' to distinguish him from his various musical relatives, has been well-served by the revival of historical performance practice, but mostly it has been his music for solo harpsichord or his chamber music which has been ...

Rameau - Les Indes galantes / Les Arts Florissants, Christie

Jean-Philippe Rameau, William Christie, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1992

Beautiful and entertaining
The music of Les Indes Galantes is absolutely beautiful, although the libretto is a bit under par. The plot of the opera consists of a prologue (predictably, with a cupid), followed by four discrete scenes. Each of these scenes is dealing with characters who, in the ...

Brossard - Grand Motets / Collot · Padaut · Fouchécourt · Ragon · Lallouette · Corréas · Accentus · EB ...

Sébastien de Brossard, Christophe Coin

Astree, 1997

Very interesting
Sebastien de Brossard is mostly known as a music theorist. However, he was also a prolific composer (he composed about 60 motets, including "grands motets," i.e., motets for chorus and soloists, and "petits motets," i.e., motets for solo voices or combinations of solo ...

Rossi - Orfeo / Mellon · Zanetti · Piau · Favat · Fouchécourt · Salzmann · Corréas · Deletré · Les Arts ...
Luigi Rossi, William Christie, ...

Harmonia Mundi France, 1999

Le Malade Imaginaire

Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Les Arts Florissants Orchestra & Chorus, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1992

Wonderful, especially if you speak French
I wish I spoke French! This recording captures the full presentation of this Molierian play, music AND spoken word. The music is wonderful, and the singing is very accomplished; but unfortunately for me, the spoken parts are not confined to separate tracks but are ...

Delalande - Te Deum / Gens, Piau, Steyer, Fouchécourt, Piolino, Corréas, Les Arts Florissants, Christie

Michel Richard Delalande, Les Arts Florissants, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1999

Very nice liturgical pieces.
This 'Te Deum', plus 'Super Flumina Babilonis' and 'Confitebor Tibi Domine' by Michel-Richard Delalande is very good late Renaissance / early Baroque liturgical music; however, it is not do great that I am especially thrilled at paying four times the original list ...

Rameau: Castor & Pollux - Choeurs & Danses (highlights)
Jerome Correas, Jean-Philippe Rameau, ...

Harmonia Mundi France, 1999

Campra - Idoménée / Deletré · Fouchécourt · Piau · Zanetti · Les Arts Florissants · Christie

André Campra, William Christie, ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1999

A great work
Campra's Idomenee (based on the same story as Mozart's Idomeneo) was first staged in 1712. Campra significantly reworked the score for the 1731 revival, and it is this second version of the opera that is recorded here. The opera follows the traditional ...
