About

The Boston Early Music Festival brings together top interpreters and musicologists in the interests of the highest performance standards – clearly the reason behind The Times terming it “the leading festival of early music.”  One of its most important goals involves the rediscovery and presentation of unknown baroque operas.
 
The BEMF and CPO began working together a few years ago. The first production in this series was the festival’s featured work in 2003: Conradi’s Ariadne. This recording reaped enormous praise from the public and critics alike and was nominated for a Grammy as best new opera recording in 2005.
 
CPO now presents Jean-Baptiste Lully’s Thésée. This mature work from 1675 is a fascinating demonstration of the magnificence of French classicism, in which elements of divertissement and of tragedy are blended together to form a higher art form- stunning tragédie lyrique.
 
Veteran performers Ellen Hargis and Paul O’Dette have been praised in New York Times for their previous collaborations at the BEMF: “Much of Ms. Hargis’s expressive charm is in her flexibility…. Mr. O’Dette responded with the kind of virtuosic detail and interpretive fluidity he has always brought to his performances.”
 
This enchanting 3 CD set comes with slipcase and informative booklet with full libretto.
