Rameau: Hippolyte et Aricie / van Mechelen, Benoit, Pichon, Pygmalion [Blu-ray]
Also available in DVD!
Rameauâs first opera Hippolyte et Aricie delivered a lyrical tragedy of such extraordinary intensity it changed the course of French music, stunning and overwhelming its audiences. This breathtaking spectacle involves prince Hippolyte, who asks his mother-in-law Queen PhĂ©dre for help in wooing the beautiful Aricie, little knowing that PhĂšdre secretly wants Hippolyte for herself. In a single work Rameau re-invented tragĂ©die en musique with dramatic expressiveness and shocking harmonic innovations. It is seen here in an acclaimed OpĂ©ra Comique production that personifies Rameauâs assertion that âmusic must speak to the soul, its true aim must be to express thoughts, feelings, and passionsâ.
