composed by André Campra, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville, Jean-Marie Leclair (i), Jean-Philippe Rameau, Joseph-Nicholas-Pancrace Royer

The tragic operas of the French Baroque can be rough going for the new listener, whose eyes may glaze over when hearing about rules of French prosody, classical models, and Lully's dominance of the scene. But this single-disc recital solves any problems you may have had in encountering operatic music from Lully to Gluck. Credit soprano Véronique ...

composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully

The pastoral tragedy Acis et Galatée was Lully's last finished work, a three-act extravaganza complete with an opening Prologue, a closing Passacaglia, and assorted dances interspersed throughout. In the right performance, it is at once an inspiring work, a relaxing work, and even an entertaining work -- and this performance by the Choeurs des ...

With its Art and Music series, Naxos has come up with a classy looking way of recycling earlier items from its catalog. The discs in the series don't quite deliver what they promise, but this one does better than most. The title Rembrandt: Music of His Time is accurate as far as it goes; the art-historical essay on Rembrandt by Hugh Griffith is ...

Harmonia Mundi's reissue of performances of Philippe Herreweghe leading the Chapelle Royale Opera Orchestra & Chorus includes two motets by Lully and one by his countryman and contemporary Henry Dumont. The French motet of the period closely resembled the structure of the Bach cantata, having multiple movements, and using soloists, both ...

This is one of those albums that can be listened to on two levels: one for the enjoyment of the rich, heavily ornamented sound of Andrew Lawrence-King's Baroque triple harp (the term refers to the instrument's three rows of strings, a configuration that survives today in Welsh folk music), and one for the music involved and how it fit into the ...

Bartók in the Desert: The Art of Irén Marik introduces most of us to this Hungarian pianist, who had once studied with Béla Bartók and made her London debut in 1927. This Arbiter Records release is the first in what one hopes will be an extended summary of her work in terms of recordings. Marik recorded in the 1950s for the short-lived Zodiac ...

composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully

This 1987 recording of Lully's Petits Motets, or small motets, was among those that established the sterling reputation of American-French conductor William Christie and his handpicked group, Les Arts Florissants. The historical-performance movement was well under way at the time, but it hadn't yet had definitive encounters with the forbidding ...

The 1991 French film Tous les matins du monde (All the Mornings of the World) attracted an audience of unexpected size for a story about French Baroque viol music, becoming a runaway hit in France and Germany and even gained wide distribution in the classical-chary U.S. The commercial ramifications grew with the release of the film's soundtrack, ...
