Due to legal complications engineered by Jean-Baptiste Lully and effected by Louis XIV, Marc-Antoine Charpentier's brilliant incidental music for Molière's final comedy, Le Malade imaginaire (1672-1674), was subjected to two drastic revisions. Despite the composer's usual precautions and careful maintenance of his manuscripts, the work's ordering became confused and scores of two important sections – the "Premier intermède" and the "Petit opéra impromptu" – lost. Thanks to the work of musicologists John S. Powell and H. Wiley Hitchcock, the full work has been reconstructed from surviving parts and restored for performance. The 1990 recording by William Christie and Les Arts Florissants is the most complete and authoritative version available; but if that makes it seem stuffy and dry, then hearing the performance will come as a glorious surprise. Charpentier's score is simply splendid in its color, humor, variety, and panache, and even the most casual listener will be drawn to the music, even without knowing the play. The story of Le Malade imaginaire would be more intelligible if the libretto – presented here in the original French, Italian, and macaronic Latin – had been translated for the liner notes, but a synopsis in English outlines Molière's farce. This Harmonia Mundi release restores a valuable Baroque gem to the catalog and deserves high marks for its delicious music, lively acting, and excellent sound quality.–Blair Sanderson
