Description:
This edition brings together all the purely instrumental movements of Rameau's comédie-ballet "Les Paladins" for performances as a suite in the concert hall.
In view of the wealth of its musical treasures and the stylistic innovations - similar to the "Boréades" - the rather frosty reception of the premiere series in spring 1760 seems completely incomprehensible to us today. As a result, this comédie-ballet was not performed again until well into the 20th century. The story that the ballet tells is based on a fable by La Fontaine, "Le Petit chien qui secoue de l'argent et des pierreries" (i.e. "The little dog that shakes silver and stones"). In medieval Veneto, the guardian Anselme thwarts the love affairs of his ward Argies. Scenes of tragic expression contrast with those of popular comedy; and last but not least, the sexually ambiguous fairy Manto must have caused difficulties for the bold work at the Paris Opéra.
This critical edition is based on the corresponding volume of the series "Opera omnia Rameau" (BA 8870-01). As "Les Paladins" remained unpublished during Rameau's lifetime and were not included in the "OEuvres complètes", this is the first edition which satisfies scholarly criteria and at the same time meets the practical needs of musicians.
The orchestral parts are available on loan.
