Soloists: Judith van Wanroij; Véronique Gens; Reinoud Van Mechelen; Tassis Christoyannis; Olivia Doray; Hasnaa Bennani; Jehanne Amzal; David Witczak; Attila Varga Tóth; Purcell Choir

Castor et Pollux is Rameau’s third opera and is packed with arias that show off the soloists to their best advantage: Tristes apprêts for Télaïre, Nature, Amour for Pollux, Séjour de l'éternelle paix for Castor, and Soulevons tous les dieux for Phébé. In this new recording Judith Van Wanroij, Reinoud Van Mechelen, Tassis Christoyannis and Véronique Gens are the outstanding performers, alongside the Purcell Choir and the Orfeo Orchestra conducted by György Vashegyi, in a new edition of Rameau's work prepared under the aegis of the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles. Research that was begun several years ago on questions of performance practice has now been complemented by their intensive work on the score and the division of roles, respecting what we now know about performance practice at the Paris Opera in Rameau's day.
