A Great Treat for Lovers of Rameau

[gamba]

Check up on " Rameau; Vingtieme Anniversaire des Musicians de Louvre. "

A fabulous programme, with my adored Marc Minkowski, who can't be bettered for this music.

Superb filming, lighting, editing etc.

Female singers include, Joyce do Donato, Magdalena Kozena, Anne Sophie von Otter, even an Englishman called John Mark Ainsley & others. A fantastic lineup & choice of items by Rameau.

Sorry to be unable to feed you a precise code number in order to locate this gem with ease.

' tis a real treasure & especially for those devoted to Rameau.

Is this it, gamba?

The Savall & Co Charpentier 2 CDs plus DVD from Versailles is superb and receiving many plays here!

Hi Richard,

Sorry, but am mystified by your question. " is this it ? " ( my mental facilities are fast diminishing ).

Lots of fine music there to be sure. I see that Minkowski takes a quite pragmatic attitude to "baroque" instrumentation though - plenty of anachronistic chin- and shoulder-rests in the violin section!

Thank you both. eyesight problems alas.

Don't miss this film. It deserves to be on DVD.
