I would agree with the choice of Rousset, but I like Sophie Yates on Chandos, too.
BTW, I am celebrating having just found a cheapish copy of a deleted set of the complete Rameau cantatas - small chamber pieces they may be, but full of fine things.Comment

The Rameau cantatas sound very interesting!Originally posted by MickyD View Post
doversoul warned me that this early music business is highly addictive, and she wasn't wrong!
Maybe when I get back home I'll invest in some. Perhaps if the price moves from 'cheapish' to 'cheap'

It was a set recorded for ASV some years ago, Beefy...an English group directed by Gary Cooper (not the cowboy). As far as I know, it is the only complete set available, so it was a must for my shelves. I got a copy from Zoverstocks, but it is now back up to the silly price of £75.Comment

I realise Rousset is the standard recommendation (if you can afford it!) but would point out that Virginia Black's website says she's recording Rameau. Doesn't say what but I would hope it's the solo suites.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post
I have her single CD on Tring dating from 1996 with the 1706 A minor, 1724 E minor and 1724 D minor/ major suites, bought as from a bargain bin in the days when Basingstoke still had shops selling classical CDs
It's streets ahead of the Pinnock CRD set. I don't have the Rousset to compare, though what I've hard of it on R3 is certainly impressive.
I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!Comment

I am enjoying the third programme. Graham Sadler could relax a little more but lots of great music and interesting talk. It's staggering to think how little we hear even Rameau’s music on Radio3. Rameau is after all one of the best known French Baroque composers.
I don’t know how many times I have said this but why on earth can’t we have the playlist prior to the programme when it is recorded?Comment

It's called "Radio 3" now, dovers....Originally posted by doversoul View Post
ahem...
... sorry, am in a frivolous mood 
Seriously, I enjoyed the first two programmes greatly and hope to make the third coincide with my journey home.
I had no idea old Jean-Philippe was such a yob! Brawling, swordfighting in the Tuileries and what not!
Came of hot-headed southern stock, semble-t-il*....

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

The odd line of French I can cope with and it does add a certain je ne sais quoit to the proceedings - ooops there I go myself, y'see?!Originally posted by Caliban View PostIt's called "Radio 3" now, dovers....

To be fair, it was the FOUR pages of French at its most demotic that I baulked at

... yet again, Micky contrives to make me green with envy. (Mind you, I suspect he wd be green with envy if he saw the extent of MY early music collections...Originally posted by MickyD View Post ) - anyhoo - altho' I don't think I'll be able to get this anytime soon, Micky's post has prodded me to seek other possibilities - and I'm very grateful for that ) - so am acquiring Cyril Auvity
and on BIS London Baroque -
which almost completes the set (given I have the Christophe Coin Versailles recording)

Sorry, Vints, didn't mean to bring out the green-eyed monster in you! I kept the Rameau Cantatas in my favourites list on Amazon for a long time, and it was only the other day that I found that Zoverstocks had a cheapish copy. I suggest you do the same...you can always check every now and then if a cheap copy becomes available. I'm sure I would indeed be jealous of your collection...and it is thanks to your extensive knowledge and hints that I have acquired so many fine discs of which I wasn't previously aware.Originally posted by vinteuil View Post... yet again, Micky contrives to make me green with envy.
