#Rarity #CulturalHeritage #Boismortier #Ballet #Baroque #Lute #Pastoral Date of Publication: 1966 Transport yourself to a world of graceful pastorals, mythological scenes, and gallant festivities! Presented to you is the rare and charming ballet suite "Daphnis and Chloé" by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, a composer whose light, melodic music was emblematic of the French Rococo. Unlike the monumental works of Lully or Rameau, the music of Boismortier (1689-1755) is a sparkling entertainment for court salons. His ballets, based on Longus's famous classical romance about the love of the shepherd Daphnis and the shepherdess Chloe, are full of pastoral tenderness, playful rhythms, and transparent orchestral colors. This is not a drama, but an exquisite series of musical "pictures" where grace, lightness, and a sense of proportion reign. This recording offers a unique opportunity to hear this work in its authentic sound. It was created by outstanding masters of historical performance of the 20th century: Walter Gerwig, the legendary German lutenist and theorist, a key figure in the revival of early music. The Lute Chamber Orchestra, founded by Gerwig, combines string instruments with plucked instruments (lute, theorbo), creating a characteristically soft, velvety, and intimate sound. Conductor Emil Seyler ensured the integrity and stylistic sensitivity of the performance. You won't hear the powerful sound of a modern orchestra here. Instead, there's intimacy, translucent textures, subtle nuances, and a distinctive flavor that's as close as possible to what was heard in Boismortier's era. This interpretation allows one to truly appreciate the composer's ingenuity and melodic charm. Perfect for relaxation, creating a creative atmosphere, or a journey into the world of French court culture. Enjoy this musical stroll through pastoral meadows in the company of a loving couple!
