Music reviews of Rameau: Orchestral Suites Vol. 2 - Anacr?on; Daphnis et Egl?
Music Review: The Baroque era merges to The Classical era
Rating: 4 Stars
I must admit that Rameau was a composer who I wasn't familiar with until I was surfing on Amazon looking for harpsichord music. Having bought and enjoyed his harpsichord music, I thought I'd try out his orchestral music. And it's good stuff too. In style it's perhaps similar to some early Haydn. Rameau was pretty much a product of his time, and there isn't really anything here that you will find "challenging". It's accesible, melodic and stands up well to repeat listenings. Anyone who finds classical music intimidating due to lengthy suites could do much worse that this.
Overall I give it 4 stars. There are many great momemts, but is occasioanly dull in parts, and at "only" 51 minutes, it's shorter than I expected from Naxos.
Overall a fine composer who should be heard more often these days.
Description of Rameau: Orchestral Suites Vol. 2 - Anacr?on; Daphnis et Egl?
The Baroque period produced a number of very great composers, and although many of them were highly versatile, producing masterpieces in a variety of media, there were also areas of unquestioned specialization. Bach wrote cantatas, Handel did operas and oratorios, Scarlatti was the great composer for the keyboard, Vivaldi mastered the concerto, and Rameau was the great ballet composer of his day. Most of his dance music was inserted into operas or other theatrical works, and it's perfectly possible to extract it in the form of orchestral suites, as is the case here. Performances are expert, and the music itself is prime Baroque. --David HurwitzGeneral CDs
