About

A marsh nymph thinks she is so irresistible that Jupiter himself will take an interest in her…

Brimming with exceptional dramatic and musical verve, this strangely under-recorded ‘ballet bouffon’ offers us Rameau’s art in a nutshell: glittering orchestration, harmonies and rhythms of unprecedented modernity.

William Christie and his comrades plunge with delight into what is one of its composer’s most fascinating works.
