Description: Lully's last complete tragédie en musique was first performed in 1686. For last year's concert performances in Washington DC (just before which this recording was made), a brand-new critical version of the piece by Lois Rosow (author of the Lully article in Opera Grove) was premiered. Unfortunately for scholarly collectors, the conductor made several cuts and abridgements (all documented in his own contribution to the notes), but this becomes only the second recording of the work and, probably, the first budget-priced Lully opera period. 2 CDs. Libretto and translation available on-line. Stephanie Houtzeel (mezzo), Robert Getchell (tenor), François Loup (bass), William Sharp (baritone), Ann Monoyios (soprano), Opera Lafayette; Ryan Brown.
