About

This new SACD is devoted to eighteenth-century French music. The recording of the overture, including the dance interlude from Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Castor et Pollux, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique in 1737, captures the essence of the most performed opera of the eighteenth century.

Jean-Féry Rebel’s dance symphony Les élémens from 1737/38 describes the state of nature before man’s arrival as seen very much through the eyes of the French late Baroque. Using innovative instrumental representation, Chaos and all the elements are accurately portrayed through the musical medium.

Phoenix is delighted to present yet another first class ensemble from the realm of Baroque and Early Music: the L’Orfeo Baroque Orchestra under Michi Gaigg. The orchestra is one of the leading ensembles for historically informed performance practice and has been awarded international prizes for its recordings such as Diapason, Pizzicato (Supersonic Award), Choc du Monde de la Musique and Radio Österreich 1 (Pasticcio-Prize).
