As part of the BBC's current focus on Dance, baroque dance specialist Philippa Waite looks at the styles and affects of various dances, illustrating with music by composers such as Lully, who was an excellent dancer himself, JS Bach, Handel, Weiss, Rebel and Rameau.
Just in case, here are a couple of examples of (I guess) HIPP Baroque dance / ballet
(3.08) Il Sant'Alessio by Stefano Landi
Rameau’s Hippolyte et Aricie
…and here is the entire Hippolyte et Aricie;.
This was broadcast live and now released on DVD, so I don’t think it will stay here very long.
Plenty of ballet scenes. I imagine this is as HIPP as a modern production can be. Sarah Connolly is a truly magnificent queen here.
Topi Lehtipuu (Hippolyte), Anne-Catherine Gillet (Aricie), Stéphane Degout (Thésée), Sarah Connolly (Phèdre), Jaël Azzaretti (L'Amour )…
Le Concert d’Astrée, Emmanuelle Haïm (conductor) & Ivan Alexandre (stage director)
