Jean Philippe Rameau: Platee

Marcel Beekman, Jeanine de Bique, Cyril Auvity, Marc Mauillon, Edwin Crossley-Mercer, Emmanuelle de Negri, Emilie Renard, Arnold Schoenberg Chor, Les Arts Florissants, William Christie

A swamp nymph thinks herself so irresistible that Jupiter might fall for her ... This "ballet bouffon", rarely recorded, has tremendous musical momentum and an exciting plot. With its sparkling orchestral sounds and incredibly modern harmonies and rhythms, the piece represents a high point in Rameau's already great art. And then this joke! William Christie and his companions delightfully immerse themselves in the work, which is one of the most fascinating creations of the brilliant master from Dijon.
