Music Review: Lully's masterpiece?
Rating: 5 Stars

Many will probably now own the Minkowski recording of Gluck's Armide.

But I invite you to travel back in time nearly one hundred years to a very different world, a world without clarinets and Jean-Philippe Rameau. This is the world of the Sun King, Lully and his Tragédie Lyriques.

I cannot recommend this recording too highly. The cast is first class - Guillemette Laurens, Howard Crook, Véronique Gens, Bernard Deletré, Gilles Ragon and Noémi Rime are here. The incredibly beautiful and talented harpsichordist and conductor, Emmanuelle Haïm, is one of the four keyboardists in the continuo section.

This opera is not inferior to Gluck's later work in any way. In fact, some scenes - as in Acte II, Scène 3, "Plus j'observe ces lieux" - are actually superior to the same scenes in Gluck's setting of the same libretto. I think that this may be Lully's greatest opera.

I hope that this work is recorded on DVD one day. However, until that time comes, please seriously consider this superb recording of this opera.
