Rameau - La Guirlande ~ Zéphyre / Daneman, Méchaly, Ockenden, Decaudaveine, Agnew, Baloza, Cappella Coloniensis, Christie»rank: 300307by: Jean-Philippe Rameau, Cappella Coloniensis, Les Arts Florissants, William Christie, Sophie Daneman, Paul Agnew, Rebecca Ockenden, Sophie Decaudaveine, François Bazola, Gaëlle Méchaly
0ur opinion: :Though entitled acte de ballet, these two works are really small operas, since the action is carried on mainly by recitatives and arias. However, there is also a profusion of dances: courtly, gracious, stately as well as lively, sometimes in sets amounting to entire suites.

Charpentier - David & Jonathas / Lesne, Zanetti, Gardeil, Fouchécourt, Visse, Gens, Les Arts Florissants, Christie»rank: 297246by: Marc-Antoine Charpentier, William Christie, Gérard Lesne, Monique Zanetti, Les Arts Florissants, Jean-Francois Gardeil, Dominique Visse, Bernard Deletré, Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, Charles Daniels, Véronique Gens, Michel Laplénie, Bernard Loonen
0ur opinion: :Lully may have had a monopoly on the performance of actual opera in France, but David et Jonathas is effectively a sacred opera composed for performance at Jesuit colleges. The work is comprised mostly of arias and choruses; what recitative there is is unusually dramatic--especially in Saul's confrontation with David and his visit to the Witch of Endor to summon the ghost of Samuel. (Dominique Visse as the Witch deserves special mention for a convincing ...
