Christie's CD of Rameau's masterpiece \"Platée,\" which he has loved for more than 50 years since his youth, was recorded at the Theater an der Wien in December 2020 under the direction of Robert Carsen (Carsen's long-awaited production of \"Platée\" was presented as a new production in 2014. (Carsen's long-awaited production of \"Platée\" was staged as a new production in 2014, but Paul Agnew conducted that production due to Christie's indisposition. This is a reprise under Christie's direction.) While studying at Harvard, there was a time when Christie was unsure whether or not he would continue with music as a professional performer, but after hearing a recording of Rameau's opera, he thought that if he had not continued with music, he would never have performed these works and would regret it for the rest of his life. That is how special Rameau is. He also believes that the best way to understand Rameau is through his operas, and that \"Plateaux\" is one of his best works. Christie himself is very much attached to this performance. Rameau's \"Platée\" was first performed in 1745, and then again in 1749 in a revised version. It is a comedy about Plateau, a swamp nymph (queen of frogs) who thinks she is very attractive, and the gods of Greek mythology. It is one of Rameau's best works, but there are curiously few recordings of it.Christie's recording is a most welcome addition, employing the ending of the 1745 version, in which Platée is left alone in the swamp, bemoaning her ugliness. The role of Platée was written for Pierre Juliot, a virtuoso countertenor of the time who was particularly adept at playing such comical roles, but in this performance, the role is played by Markus Beekman, a Dutch tenor who has taken the world by storm, especially in the baroque and contemporary repertoire. In this production, the role is played by Markus Beekman, a tenor from the Netherlands who has taken the world by storm, especially in baroque and contemporary music. He plays the role of Platæ with a technique that defies the category of \"voice,\" a range that seems infinite, and a superb acting ability (Platæ is originally a frog, but Carsen's production has given Beekman the role of a less attractive woman ( ), and is played by a celebrity designer (=Jupiter) modeled after fashion legend Lagerfeld.) The other cast members include popular singers who are active not only in baroque music but also in opera and other genres.
