Le Jardin de Monsieur Rameau with Les Arts Florissants, directed by William Christie, reissued as part of a series by Harmonia Mundi. Like a garden, where different plants are combined for maximum display, this recording is a bouquet of selections from Rameau, Gluck, Campra, Pignolet de Monteclair, and others, arranged to highlight the variety of 18th century form. In this delughtful bouquet or sounds, well known perennials blend with relative rarities and dramatic colours alternate with the more discreet : a excellent introduction to the rest of the Harmonia Mundi series reissuing Les Arts Florissantes recordings. This selection was first heard during the Rameau anniversary year when Les Arts Florissantes were joined by soloists (Daniela Skorka, Emilie Renard, Benedetta Mazzucato, Zachary Wilder, Victor Sicard and Cyril Costanzo) from their academy, Le Jardin de Voix.

Wigmore Hall, London Christophe Rousset conducted from the harpsichord, while Sandrine Piau achieved something like perfection in this concert of baroque chamber cantatas and trio sonatasChristophe Rousset’s concert of baroque chamber cantatas and trio sonatas with members of his ensemble les Talens Lyriques was scheduled as a vehicle for mezzo Ann Hallenberg. Her indisposition, however, led to her replacement by soprano Sandrine Piau, one of Rousset’s regular collaborators and a fine interpreter of the 17th- and 18th-century repertory.Rousset directed from the harpsichord with his customary refinement. Piau opened with Montéclair’s Morte di Lucrezia, a tricky work in which the singer both narrates and dramatises the history of Lucrezia’s suicide after her rape by Tarquinius. Continue reading...
