Album Description
Following its first performance before the court at the Château de Saint-Germain-en- Laye on 1 January 1677, Isis won librettist Philippe Quinault two years' banishment, for having dared to bring to the stage the jealousy of Madame de Montespan (Juno) at the decision of King Louis XIV (Jupiter) to leave her for the young and attractive Mademoiselle de Ludres (Io). Although Lully and Quinault insisted that they were inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, no-one was fooled: after its performance, the rumour mill went into overdrive, which saw the unfortunate Mademoiselle de Ludres obliged to leave the court the following year. The show turned out to be a one-night- only affair and the opera lay forgotten for three centuries. It survived in part through Purcell's Cold Song, written for his semi-opera King Arthur, which was rather influenced by the mischievous Chœur des trembleurs in Act Four of Isis. Christophe Rousset, a Lully specialist, has set happily to work on this opera, which is jam-packed with instrumental marvels (wind machines, for example) and vocal wonders. It's these features that have won it the reputation as an "opera for musicians": so rich is the score in music and novelties. This great show was unveiled by Christophe Rousset and his team of singers and instrumentalists during summer 2019, in particular at the Beaune Festival, and recorded thereafter at the Salle Gaveau in Paris. It will continue on its round of concerts during the 2019-2020 season. Conducted with unstinting tension and lots of imagination from Christophe Rousset at the head of the Orchestre des Talens Lyriques, the Chœur de chambre de Namur, and a team of soloists all welded together into a perfectly coherent whole, this recording is a highlight of this Autumn's music. © François Hudry/Qobuz
