Le métèque

Georges Moustaki

French Music - Released January 1, 1969 | Universal Music Division Label Panthéon

Download not available
This compilation serves as a good showcase for the work of singer/songwriter Georges Moustaki. Though Moustaki spent a decade composing for such French notables as Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, and Barbara, his solo career didn't take off until the huge success of "Le Métèque" in 1969. Like his mentor Georges Brassens, Moustaki performs mostly to the accompaniment of an acoustic guitar, occasionally adding simple string arrangements. He is very much a touring artist who has a great rapport with the audience and who finds his inspiration in different cultures from around the world. This collection features some of his greatest hits, including "Le Métèque," "Ma Liberté," "Ma Solitude," and "Joseph." Moustaki's Brazilian influences are evident in the compositions "Danse" and "Eaux de Mars"; the latter is a reworking of "Aguas de Março" by Antonio Carlos Jobim.© Yuri German /TiVo

Les Paladins

Valentin Tournet

Classical - Released January 14, 2022 | Château de Versailles Spectacles

Hi-Res Booklet
The paladins, as video game aficionados know, were knights of Charlemagne's court, French counterparts to the Knights of the Round Table. In Rameau's opera, they are the basis for a broad medieval spoof that came down in bits and pieces from Ariosto through various hands, some of them unknown. Here, it receives a valuable new recording from rising young Baroque opera conductor Valentin Tournet and his vocal-orchestral group La Chapelle Harmonique. The opera, which Rameau called a tragédie lyrique, isn't quite in Monty Python territory, but at times, for instance, with the unmotivated entrance of a troupe of Chinese entertainers during a magical episode in the third act, things approach that. This was Rameau's last publicly performed opera, premiered when he was in his late 70s, and it was an uncharacteristic flop. Perhaps it was the overloaded nature of the whole thing, or perhaps the new stylistic breezes blowing in from Italy. It is, however, highly entertaining and loaded with good dance tunes and colorful orchestration. There are few recitatives, and those that do exist are tightly intertwined with the action and keep things moving. There are just a few recordings of this opera, and this one, with a sumptuous booklet and an appendix of material cut by Rameau, may emerge as the standard. It is beautifully recorded at the Palace of Versailles and conveys the scope an 18th century opera production would have had. Tournet has a strong cast, led by Sandrine Piau as the romantic lead Argie, in love with one of the Paladins but pursued as well by her guardian. (She moves over from the role of Argie's friend Nérine in one of the few earlier recordings of the work by conductor William Christie.) The various comic and dance elements come through vividly. This is a strong recording that will fill a lot of holes in Rameau collections. © TiVo
