Music reviews of Rameau: Orchestral Suites (vol. 1)
Music Review: Some of the best Rameau, but...
Rating: 3 Stars
I prefer Bruggen's interpretations and recordings whenever possible.
The Naxos recordings here are a little on the dull side, from a sound-quality and energy/vitality perspective. Bruggen's are richer and more dance-like - they are simply more musical performances.
Description of Rameau: Orchestral Suites (vol. 1)
Baroque opera in France was very different from the Italian "opera seria" form that prevailed elsewhere in Europe at the same time. While the Italian tradition preferred a succession of detachable arias that provided a showcase for star singers, French opera consisted of an equal measure of song and dance, with the vocal parts integrated into a much more continuous musical structure. Rameau's ballet music is the finest of the period--it has a really physical quality of movement, and the most interesting and pronounced rhythmic definition. All of which is a complicated way of saying that it really sets your toes tapping. Check it out; with excellent performances and a budget price, you've nothing to lose. --David HurwitzGeneral CDs
