General Interest Jean-Joseph CassanEa de Mondonville - IsbE - Pastorale heroique Paris 1742 With 'Isb', a pastorale hroque by de Mondonville, Gyrgy Vashegyi revives another overlooked dramatic work from the French Baroque much as he did with Rameau s 'Les Ftes de Polymnie' also on the Glossa label. In his native Budapest, Vashegyi has been developing his interpretations of Baroque music with his Orfeo Orchestra and Purcell Choir for nearly three decades now, and for this recording he has assembled a magnificent team of vocal soloists, well-versed in the idiom of 18th-century French opera. Thomas Doli assumes the important role of Adamas, the Chief Druid, who is besotted by Isb, and yet is also provided with modern Enlightenment thinking (the opera was premired in 1742). The title role is taken by British soprano Katherine Watson, while Isb s other suitor, Coridon, is sung by tenor Reinoud Van Mechelen. Despite being somewhat over-shadowed in his lifetime by his older and more prolific contemporary, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Mondonville was already a successful composer of instrumental music and some ambitious grands motets before he composed 'Isb', and his operatic vision was remarkably well-advanced in terms of structure, orchestration and melodic invention he was clearly also aware of the advances made by Antonio Vivaldi in orchestral music. A new recording of music by Mondonville and Gyrgy Vashegyi and his team have also been responsible for a disc of grands motets is a welcome development in the modern re-evaluation of this impressive composer from the Languedoc. Review 'Mondonville s peers regarded his music as second only to that of the great Rameau. On the evidence of this 1742 pastorale hroque it s at least that: although the story is slight and formulaic, the music is anything but, with bold orchestration, eclectic language, novel forms and intensified emotions. Vashegyi directs his Hungarian forces in a lively, touching reading, and Watson and Van Mechelen excel in the lead roles.' --Stephen Pettitt - The Sunday Times, 22nd January 2017 Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
