{"product_id":"les-talens-lyriques_amadis_2014_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Amadis","description":"Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques revive a great lyrical tragedy by Lully, the medieval fresco of Amadis de Gaulle. After Roland, Persée, Bellérophon, and most recently Phaéton, Christophe Rousset continues with Amadis to bring back the Lullist tragedies of the Grand siècle. The score is one of the most accomplished that Lully left us, a masterpiece of French heritage. All the ingredients of lyrical tragedy are not only beautifully balanced but also extremely refined, almost sublimated. Thus, the subject chosen by Louis XIV himself, who abandons the theme of Greco-Roman antiquities for a libretto drawn from the famous medieval fresco of Amadis de Gaule by Montalvo, is an absolute novelty in the French repertoire. Also new, the prologue is directly related to the action. As for the \"symphonic\" pages supported by the duo of timpani and trumpets, they deserve all the attention, especially the final chaconne, the most beautiful in French opera, if there is one that should be remembered above all. The arias charged with feelings, the famous \"Bois épais,\" \"Tu me trahis malheureux,\" \"Il m'appelle\" constantly oscillate between heroic courage and romantic sadness. The work created in 1684 in Paris remained on stage in Paris as well as in the provinces until 1772.","brand":"Les Talens Lyriques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57783283417432,"sku":null,"price":23446521.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/les-talens-lyriques_amadis_2014_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
