Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Great Music, Tiresome staging
The best thing about this DVD: a chance to be introduced to some of most wonderful music beyond the standard repertory. As someone forever seeking something I haven't heard before, this score was something of a revelation. And this is greatly to the credit of William Christie, and his superb group of singers (Piau, Naouri, d'Oustrac, Piolino, Lehtipuu) who were fully engaged and demonstrated that there is much fine singing beyond the Three Tenors world.

However: the staging is just ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A Travesty
"Baroque opera that Rocks!" No! I say: A Travesty! By the looks of the other reviews of Las Paladins it appears that I am in a decided minority. Only one other reviewer of the eleven faulted this production saying that if Rameau were not dead he would certainly "sue the producers" here for this desecration of his score. I quite agree. To me the thing I love most in opera is the magic of entering into another world. To leave the tangled, tortured world I live in and be transported to a fictional world ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rejuvenating the Baroque
My two favorite amazon music reviewers, Mike Birman and Steven Guy, have already given this amazing performance their stamps of approval, so I'll be brief.
Imagine combining the Beatles' film Yellow Submarine, a big top show by Cirque de Soleil, and the most ravishing Baroque singing you've ever heard! Throw in some accomplished slapstick acting from the singers, if you can believe that! Give the role of Atis to a tenor who could displace Brad Pitt from the hearts of maidens everywhere. Smoothly ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a fabulous performance
The wildly imaginative and witty presentation of this work brings the exceptional scholarship of William Christie's brilliant interpretation within range of more viewers than a more legit presentation could.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fun with an updated Rameau
with a mix of video,ethnic catchy modern dance and a cast having visible fun, this is a true revelation of what can be done with 18th century music.it is full of spirit and wit;and not at all the french equivalent of the four seasons you know music you've heard way too often....Piau and Lehtipuu are wonderfull sprightly singers; forget the twists of the plot and savor the delicious music!
