Free Music Notes for Lully - Atys
Free Music Review: Not to be missed
Hit: 5 Stars
The previous reviewers have said it all and have said it very well. Anyone who loves Baroque opera and enjoys the works of Handel and Vivaldi will, I am sure, love this work. Lully's works are vastly different from those two greats, his work is distinctively French (although Lully was Italian). It is brilliant and exciting. Christie has no peer and for Atys he has assembled a cast which absolutely beggars the imagination. He seems to have recruited every great singer of French Baroque music right down to the minor roles. It is three hours of listening pleasure.
Lully - Atys Poster
Jean-Baptiste Lully has long been known as the father of French opera; this 1987 recording was the first to suggest his works are fit for something more than the library shelf. Though the 1676 Atys lacks the depth of texture and characterization (as well as the sheer weirdness) found in Rameau, the opera is like a catalog of French Baroque recitative and aria techniques in this Dangerous Liaisons-style story of love and jealousy amid royals and gods. Ironically, when the title character goes to sleep in act 3, the music truly wakes up in an imaginative, strikingly mellifluous evocation of abstract gods such as Morpheus and Phantasmus. William Christie's direction isn't quite as crisp and polished as later recordings, but his sense of style and ability to find passion behind the operatic formality is rock solid, with fine vocal contributions by Guy de Mey (Atys), Agnes Mellon (Sangaride), and Guillemette Laurens (Cybele). --David Patrick StearnsClassical Music CDs
