Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This suite of dances from Dardanus and Platée is an ideal introduction to Rameau. Though his operas are full of articulate use of language and are, in their own polite way, theatrically charged, French baroque opera required periodic dance interludes, which is what is included here. Unlike 19th-century French opera, the dance music in these 18th-century works is often among the most fascinating in the entire opera, full of rich, unorthodox scoring and so packed with ideas underneath the mellifluous exterior that each interlude often seems like a miniature concerto for orchestra. Conductor Nicholas McGegan's natural rhythmic effervescence makes him ideal for this music--he should record more of it, much more--and his Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra copes handily with the substantial difficulties posed by a composer who thought each melodic strand should have a strong mind of its own. --David Patrick Stearns

5 out of 5 stars Another fine rameau outing for Mcgegan.......2004-03-15

This is another in a series of Rameau opera and ballet recordings Nicolas McGegan with the Philharmonia Barqoue orchestra. They all are played with verve, attention to detail and flawless execution. Plus, (and this is a little less tangible, I admit) they are imbued with a certain joie de vivre and sense of humour that seems to belie the image of the dour authentic instrument groups that take themselves a wee bit too seriously.
