Simplement sublime, merci

[@IoannesHoBaptistes]

Quel bonheur ! Merci beaucoup ! La musique de Rameau est une de celles qui me plaît le plus au monde. Et je suis touché que vous ayez accepté d'en publier souvent ces derniers temps ! C'est la bonne surprise de ce jour.
À vrai dire, je crois que cette chaîne mérite d'être bien plus connue ! Il me semble même qu'elle est d'utilité publique !

Je suis d'accord

I listen to a lot of Rameau’ music including his operas which are more like what he wanted to write. The Paris audiences who liked Rameau’s style of music expected “special effects “ and orchestras to provide noise and explosions to entertain like an action movie. Rameau wasn’t the most hospitable man and he created enemies easily even friends close to him turned hostile. Rameau could write beautiful music with heart and soul and feelings as well as entertain. Sometimes it’s better to be broad minded listening and enjoy his tongue in cheek humour.
This is my opinion only

Performed with aplomb

Les derniers menuets ressemblent étrangement aux menuets de Francoeur dans les Simphonies pour le festin royal de Monseigneur le comte d'Artois. th-cam.com/video/Im4CH2SMD9A/w-d-xo.html

[@elinathanferlay1013]

De nombreux morceaux des Simphonies pour le festin royal de Monseigneur le comte d'Artois de Francoeur sont en vérité des arrangements d'extrait d'opéra. Les simphonies de Francoeur datant de 1773 et Acante et Céphise de Rameau de 1751, on ne peut exclure que les menuets de Francoeur soient des arrangements de ceux de Rameau.

It's a pity that the introduction of this Acante Suite wants to make you almost unwilling to listen to the rest of the music. Rather aggressive and far too much drumming. It makes one stubborn, annoyed. But then, if you persist: what's following is beautiful.
It looks like if those beginnings are uninspired things, mechanical, obligatory pieces, which he composed because it was compulsory, with his thoughts already elsewhere. It's not the only suite where this horrible start brings you in the worst mood imaginable to continue listening, in stead of a curious and eager mind. It looks no any listener seems to experience this strange and unpleasant duality in Rameau's music

I would say the aggressive drumming was made to mimic fireworks, which is the movement's name (Feu d'Artifice).
