Delhos Temple

The original cassette tape was released by Nanjo Asahito's La Musica. (probably 1998 or 1999). The sources were incomplete demo recordings of early Acid Mother's Temple. Nanjo equalized and distorted to his trademark "Nanjo Sound". When Kawabata got these tracks of this cassette tape, he remastered for upload on Bandcamp. The tracks included here were later completed and included on the first cassette tape and the first album.

In a stunning world premiere recording, music director and conductor Nicholas McGegan, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale, and an international cast of French Baroque opera stars present Jean-Philippe Rameau’s original 1745 version of Le Temple de la Gloire, with libretto by Voltaire. Presented as a fully staged opera in April 2017, the three sold out performances enjoyed universal critical acclaim from some of the world’s leading publications. The original manuscript had not been performed since 1745 and is housed at U.C. Berkeley’s Jean Gray Hargrove Music Library. Originally written to honour King Louis XV and commemorate the Battle of Fontenoy, the version of this ballet héroïque that has been heard up until now is the second version which was substantially changed by Rameau to appease the King and Parisian tastes.
