This review is from: Amadis, tragédie en musique (LULLY ou le Musicien du Soleil, Vol. VIII) (Audio CD)

After hearing Reyne's performance of Lully's 'Isis', which was excellent, as well as a number of his other recordings, I was a little disappointed by this. The soloists perform well, so does the orchestra, but overall, it's a little limp sounding. The music, while beautiful, lacks the energy found in many of Lully's other operas. The fact that it's from a concert performance may explain this a little, and the fact that the applause was recorded at the beginning of the work takes away from the atmosphere. But 'Amadis' is an opera well worth performing, and this recording will satisfy for now.
