Description
This recording of airs from Rameau's heroic ballets and lyric tragedies features the renowned haute-contre Jean-Paul Fouch?®court, one of the main exponents of the French Baroque repertoire for the last decade and who, most recently, has been closely associated with Rameau's opera 'Plat?®e'. In these excerpts, Rameau's colourful palette of musical characterization traverses a wide range of emotion, from the profoundly moving 'Lieux funestes' ('Dardanus') to the witty and imaginative air 'Charmant Bacchus' ('Plat?®e') when, for example, Rameau cleverly employs 'drunken' part writing under Thespis' words \Duss?®-je ?¬tre mal ?®cout?® ("Even at the risk of being misunderstood").
