Free Music Notes for Lully - Pers?e / Les Talens Lyriques, Rousset
Free Music Review: My favorite opera recording, ever.
Hit: 5 Stars
I managed to find this some time ago, and immediately purchased it.(It was out of print and unavailable through Amazon by that time) Having heard the operas of Gluck, as well as some other composers, I decided to venture into French Baroque. Since then, I've heard and acquired a number of Lully's operas, as well as a few by the generation of French composers that followed him. However, I believe this one was only surpassed by Rousset's version of 'Roland', and perhaps Niquet's recent one of 'Proserpine'. But unlike a previous reviewer, I would say this is the better rendition of 'Pers?e', although it lacks the amount of energy that drives Niquet's conducting, or that of the BEMF performances, though the latter are not quite as good as this. But it's simply so divine that I'm not sure it could ever be topped. Stylistically, it is of the second generation of Lully's tragedies, which differ slightly from earlier works such as 'Alceste', an innovation which began with 'Proserpine'. And indeed one commentator on the work said that it was the operas 'Atys' and 'Pers?e' which were Lully's finest. Get it if you are lucky enough to find it. And if you can't, go for 'Proserpine', 'Atys', or 'Roland' if you aren't familiar with Lully.
Lully - Pers?e / Les Talens Lyriques, Rousset Poster
This opera concerns Perseus, his love for Andromeda, and his killing of the snake-headed gorgon Medusa. Jean-Baptiste Lully clearly meant the heroic Perseus to stand for Louis XIV, who commissioned the work. Indeed, while Persee is not on stage all the time, he is the central character of this lengthy, ceremonial, beautifully scored work. Those who love the peculiar formalities of French Baroque opera will need no coaxing. For others, the lovely dance interludes, the grand gestures of Andromeda (who loves Persee but is promised to Phinee, a role gorgeously sung by Anna Maria Panzarella), the big choral sections, the fearless deeds of Persee (he battles a sea monster in Act IV), and the overall strength of this live, lively performance should win new fans. Yes, there's definitely the whiff of powdered wigs abounding, but the splendor of Lully's music--here conducted by the redoubtable Christophe Rousset leading Les Talens Lyriques--makes it all seem far more urgent. Recommended. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
