• Rameau: The Opera Collection

Rameau's sumptuous and exquisitely crafted works for the theater represent a peak of achievement in French music. These superb recordings - which feature nine of his most significant masterpieces - were first released by Erato between 1974 and 2002 and played a crucial role in returning the composer's works to the world's stages. The collection includes performances by some of the world's leading singers of yesterday and today, including Frederica von Stade, Lorraine Hunt and Mark Padmore, as well as ensembles such as Les Arts Florissants and Les Musiciens du Louvre led by the likes of William Christie, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Nikolaus Harnoncourt.<br/><br/>CD Listing<br/>CD 1-3: Hippolyte et Aricie - William Christie<br/>CD 4-6: Les Indes Galantes - Jean-François Paillard<br/>CD 7-9: Castor et Pollux - Nikolaus Harnoncourt<br/>CD 10-11: Les Fêtes d'Hébé - William Christie<br/>CD 12-13: Dardanus - Raymond Leppard<br/>CD 14-15: Platée - Marc Minkowski<br/>CD 16: Pigmalion - Nicholas McGegan<br/>CD 17: Les Surprises de l'Amour - Marc Minkowski<br/>CD 18-19: Naïs - Nicholas McGegan<br/>CD 20-22: Zoroastre - William Christie<br/>CD 23: La Guirlande - William Christie<br/>CD 24: Zéphyre - William Christie<br/>CD 25-27: Les Boréades - John Eliot Gardiner
