The latest recording features Les Talents Lilique and an elite ensemble of singers! Jean-Baptiste Lully, inspired by the new art of opera brought from Italy, opened the door to the history of French opera by establishing the form of lyric tragedy, in which a French libretto is recited with dances and solo singing to create a great tragedy. As the royal music director to the Sun King Louis XIV, he presented a series of new works for the royal court in this form, among which \"Atys,\" premiered in 1676, was the Sun King's favorite \"opera of kings\" that was performed again and again for generations to come. This tragic love story of Atys, who escapes the love of the goddess Cibel and falls in love with the river nymph Sangalid, only to be turned into a tree by the wrath of the goddess, was also a decisive success for William Christie's Les Arts Florissants in the 20th century, when the Baroque opera was revived. The interpretation by Christophe Rousset \u0026amp; Les Tarrands Lilique, who have been making great achievements in the performance of Lully's works in recent years, appears on the Chateau de Versailles label as a new recording for the 21st century after the progress of musicological research since then.With Reinhard van Mechelen, who has been expanding his activities in recent years, in the title role, Rousset's superb control sublimates the fine art of the singers, who sing in rich and detailed emotion, into a performance full of coherence and unity, resulting in a rare masterpiece. Cornel Blondet, himself an ensemble conductor, and Rousset face two keyboard instruments, with Emmanuel Jacques on bass de violon, Miriam Lignol on viol, and a full ensemble of bass players and other experienced orchestral virtuosos. This release marks a new page in the history of baroque opera recordings.
