Music reviews of Rameau - Les Indes galantes / Les Arts Florissants, Christie

Music Review: Beautiful and entertaining
Rating: 5 Stars

The music of Les Indes Galantes is absolutely beautiful, although the libretto is a bit under par. The plot of the opera consists of a prologue (predictably, with a cupid), followed by four discrete scenes. Each of these scenes is dealing with characters who, in the view of a medieval Frenchman, were exotic and even "savage." In the sequence of appearance, these include Turks, Peruvian Incas, Persians and the American Indians (the latter are referred to merely as "savages" but the geographic location gives some idea as to who they are). The stories are implausible, but they were not intended to be taken literally; rather, they were intended as something of an esopian fable, illustrating the victory of love over force and discord. The best known scene in the opera is the Festival of the Sun in the second Entree, with the famous aria of Huascar (sung by Bernard Deletre). There are recordings of this aria by various operatic greats such as Gerard Souzay, but Deletre's version is really definitive. It is hard to even take some of the earlier recordings seriously in light of everything we now know about the authentic baroque practice. Christie is in the forefront of the movement toward historically informed period performances of baroque. As a result, his recordings are almost invariably the best. Everyone should get acquainted with Christie's work. I can't think of any other conductor who would be as capable of capturing your heart and turning you into a baroque afficionado as William Christie. If you are a novice, reluctant to spend money on unfamiliar music, there is a collection entitled "The most beautiful scenes of baroque opera," which may be a cheap way for you to "test waters." That collection contains, among other things, several excerpts from Christie's recordings, including a duet "Forets paisibles" from the 4th Entree of Les Indes Galantes.
