Les Bodins

This new Erato recording of the complete, uncut score of Les Troyens is drawn from two concert performances that took place over the Easter weekend in April 2017 in the city of Strasbourg in eastern France. A magnificent cast of singers, predominantly Francophone, assembled under the baton of John Nelson, an acknowledged master of Berlioz’s music who has conducted Les Troyens more frequently than anyone else over a period of more than 40 years; he made his name with the piece when he led performances at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 1974 and enjoyed great acclaim for a production at the Frankfurt Opera shortly before the Strasbourg concerts.

Budapest's Orfeo Orchestra is a period instruments ensemble that has performed at concerts and festivals across Hungary. Formed by conductor György Vashegyi, the orchestra consists of 15 to 45 players, and has toured Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Italy, Israel, and South America, appearing at many music festivals. The Orfeo Orchestra was formed in 1991 to perform Claudio Monteverdi's Orfeo, and continued to give concerts with Vashegyi's handpicked vocal ensemble, the Purcell Choir, in repertoire that ranged from Gesualdo to Brahms. The orchestra regularly performs at the Hungarian Haydn Society's Haydn Festival, held at the Esterházy Palace at Fertöd, and the Toujours Mozart Festival in Salzburg and Vienna.

Would you know Miss Duval, composer of a single opera, The Geniuses, performed nine times in 1736, which was a great success and has never been revived since its creation at the Royal Academy of Music in Paris? Singer and composer, Mademoiselle Duval is the second woman to have created an opera there, following Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.

Connaitriez-vous Mademoiselle Duval, compositrice d’un unique opéra, Les Génies, joué neuf fois en 1736, qui connut un franc succès et n’a jamais été repris depuis sa création à l’Académie Royale de Musique de Paris ? Chanteuse et compositrice, Mademoiselle Duval est la seconde femme à y avoir créé un opéra, à la suite d’Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. Si sa vie reste mystérieuse, cette claveciniste confirmée au point d’éblouir le public en tenant le continuo à la création des Génies, écrivit une œuvre de divertissement contemporaine des Indes Galantes, déployant à chaque acte une nouvelle intrigue amoureuse centrée sur les Génies des Eaux (Les Nymphes), de l’Air (Les Sylphes), de la Terre (Les Gnomes) et du Feu (Les Salamandres). C’est une petite merveille que la curiosité de Camille Delaforge nous livre enfin, dirigeant avec passion cette rareté du répertoire français avec un absolu bonheur !

The famous Marquise of Pompadour, favorite of King Louis XV for almost 20 years, rules over the arts at court. Rameau, whom she particularly admires, is omnipresent.

With Les Indes galantes by Jean-Philippe Rameau, György Vashegyi – along with his Orfeo Orchestra and Purcell Choir – makes a further dazzling addition to their Glossa series of French dramatic masterpieces from the Baroque, and in the company of a luxurious line-up of vocal soloists.

Entouré d’une malédiction persistante, le dernier opéra de Jean-Philippe Rameau, Les Boréades, a attendu plus de deux siècles pour être enfin représenté, une cascade d’ennuis ayant retardé sa création prévue en 1763 et finalement réalisée en… 1982, au Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, sous la direction de Sir John Eliot Gardiner. D’autres ennuis ont surgi depuis, à la suite d’un gros imbroglio juridique autour du manuscrit qui semble enfin résolu aujourd’hui. Ce chef-d’œuvre de l’opéra français est enfin rentré au répertoire de l’Opéra de Paris depuis 2003 seulement.
