Les Arts Florissants / William Christie
With a prologue totally integrated into the rest of the work, and a lack of stage action, almost devoid of recitative, Charpentier here succeeds in creating a counter-proposition to the Lullian tragédie lyrique. His contemporaries were not mistaken in acclaiming this grandiose masterpiece by the most Italian of French composers.
