This review is from: Jean-Baptiste Lully: Proserpine (Audio CD)

I enjoyed the CD very much. It was very well orchestrated and well performed,especially the choral sections as well as the sung airs. My only complaint is much of orchestrated pieces,the dances have been omitted.I feel that had they made this recording in it's entirety, it would have been more enjoyable. Of course it would have required another CD which would have increased the cost of the product but I would have gladly payed the extra cost.
