{"product_id":"les-talens-lyriques_isis_2019_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Isis","description":"Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques return to their first loves with the seventh opera by Lully, Isis. Nicknamed \"the opera of musicians,\" it combines Roman mythology and ancient Egypt: Jupiter attempts to seduce the nymph Io, much to the displeasure of his wife Juno who, jealous, will chase her to the Underworld! The plot caused quite a stir at Court: Madame de Montespan, believing she recognized in Jupiter and Io the King and his mistress, punished this affront by condemning the librettist Quinault to exile. Isis is full of twists and transformations (Io will become the goddess Isis), providing a pretext for the deployment of a formidable musical arsenal: the score is overflowing with evocative wonders, from the chorus of the peoples of the icy climates, imitating the shivers - Purcell will draw inspiration from it for the Air du froid from King Arthur - to the laments of the nymph Syrinx transformed into reeds, represented by the flutes. Carried with constant demand by Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques, the Namur Chamber Choir, and a radiant cast (Ève-Maud Hubeaux and Bénédicte Tauran lend their warm timbres to Io and Juno, Edwin Crossley-Mercer to Jupiter), Isis adorns itself with all its graces and brings its fabulous universe to life.","brand":"Les Talens Lyriques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57593010848088,"sku":null,"price":23487360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/les-talens-lyriques_isis_2019_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
