4.0 out of 5 stars Pastoral Playfulness, March 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clérambault - Le Triomphe d'Iris / Méchaly · Goubioud · Novelli · Bona · Le Concert Spirituel · Niquet (Audio CD)
If I were to try to rank the composers of the 18th Century according to their genius, Louis-Nicolas Clerambault (1676-1749) would not be seeded above 25th. Considering the competition in that greatest of all musical centuries -- Bach, Scarlatti, Zelenka, Telemann, Haydn, Handel, Hasse, Mozart, to name a few -- 25th would be pretty durn good. What Clerambault did best was to compose with 'brio' - liveliness - and this large-scale pastoral ballet/opera, the tale of two couples, shepherdesses and swains, is 'brio' from start to finish. Almost certainly it was written as a 'petit opera' for the court of Louis XIV, and it would have been performed with scenery and almost constant dancing. It's best appreciated on those terms, understood as an elegant diversion for the King's leisure.

Le Concert Spirituel, directed by Herve Niquet, has recorded a fine series of "grands motets" by Lully and other major composers of sacred music from the French court. It's amusing to hear the same ensemble perform something as light-hearted and animated as The Triumph of Iris. The vocal production of singers of this repertoire is highly idiomatic, uncompromisingly "French," as it has to be, with the emphasis on clarity of enunciation and expressive phrasing rather than 'bel canto' timbre or virtuosic display. On the whole, this is not a performance I will listen to frequently, since my personal taste is for more 'intellectual' fare, but I can recommend it enthusiastically to listeners who enjoy 'a cheerful noise' as they get on with life.

This review is from: Clérambault - Le Triomphe d'Iris / Méchaly · Goubioud · Novelli · Bona · Le Concert Spirituel · Niquet (Audio CD)
A wonderful piece of music and very well performed. Plot line - Intro: sing long and loud praises to the Sun King. Body: Boy (shepherd) finds girl (shepherdess), Boy loses Girl, Boy and Girl reunited with help of Iris and other subordinate Nymphs. Repeat Boy/Girl scenario for two other couples (shepherds also). Rousing finale with all six singing away. Can't expand much on the first two reviews which captured the sense properly. Normally I hate harpsichords, but the two used in this production veritably rock - its amazing. This would have been wonderful to see live.

This review is from: Clérambault - Le Triomphe d'Iris / Méchaly · Goubioud · Novelli · Bona · Le Concert Spirituel · Niquet (Audio CD)
This is Clérambault's and the french baroque music's most wonderful and unbeliveable cd. When you don't belive me,you should listen with your real player, track 3 and track 19. It's enough for you to decide to buy this cd. Very higly recommended !
