Jean-Philippe Rameau: Platée - Minkowski (DVD)

Performance of anthology. Platée is Marc Minkowski's speciality, which had dug up it of a too long sleep in 1988 for a recording unsurpassed otherwise by this production of the Opera of Paris. Hilarious, but especially moving, Paul Agnew's Platée is a model of spiritual singing, it is necessary to see the dark Madness of Delunsch to believe it and invaluable Leguérinel's Momus.
Minkowski takes all his world of a spicy baguette and Pelly put the bases of his method: crazy ballets, moved reading, the score falls naturally in its ropes and he will renew such a happiness no as with his trilogy Offenbach.
