Description:
Rare premiere version with the orchestra of the Opéra de Paris at that time! Rameau's mastery of instrumental technique and the virtuosity of his singers, who were almost of the same generation as Bach and Handel, made him a late bloomer but a major figure in the music scene not only of the French royal family but also of the Parisian public. After Lully's death, Rameau brought new life to the five-act French opera (lyric tragedy), which was gradually becoming outdated. Although the first performance of "Zoroastre" in 1749 was a failure, the revised version in 1756 was well received by the French public and received much acclaim. The premiere version of the opera was realized with the full cooperation of the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, and is now presented here. The revised version, of which there are several existing recordings including video, loses the original philosophical and progressive ideas of Rameau and scriptwriter Cayusac, which were lost due to the priority given to the clarity of the musical structure.The orchestra is composed of a large ensemble, including La Grande Ecurie, the famous orchestra that succeeded the late Margoire as music director, and is led by the traverso player Kosenko. The orchestra is led by traverso player Cosenco, who has recorded many masterpieces for ALPHA, Aparte, SONY, and many other labels. The story is performed by a cast of European opera greats, including Van Mechelen in the title role, DeVos, Jans and other notable female singers of different generations, Vidal and Christoyannis, supported by a reliable bass ensemble, and full of acting talent. The orchestra, which has been in great form since the overture, also shows its presence with strong centripetal force at various listening points. This is a new masterpiece that shows the true value of Rameau's art in its true colors. Naxos Japan
