About this concert
French conductor Raphaël Pichon is a shining young star in the world of baroque music. On his debut, he takes us to the world of the ancient gods. From the underworld and the Elysian Fields we climb up to the top of Mount Olympus with familiar and unfamiliar music by Rameau in particular, but also Gluck and Rebel. The heavenly voices of Julie Roset and Stéphane Degout do the rest.
In ‘The Domain of the Gods’, the triptych that Pichon put together especially for us, the music of Jean-Philippe Rameau takes centre stage. But we start with the then shocking sounds Jean-Féry Rebel composed to depict the pre-creation chaos. And of course, we can only escape the underworld by following Orpheus, whom Gluck portrayed so lifelike in Orfeo ed Eurydice. Reaching the Olympus we hear the most divine dance music Rameau could imagine.
This programme has no interval.
