Rameau: Castor et Pollux

Album by Jean‐Philippe Rameau & Stockholms kammarkör & Concentus Musicus Wien & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Castor et Pollux is an opera (tragédie en musique) by French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau, first performed in 1737. A significant example of French Baroque opera, it features ornate orchestration, expressive harmony and dance-driven choral sections that demonstrate Rameau's advances in instrumental colour and dramatic writing, and it occupies an important place in his stage repertoire and the development of 18th-century French opera.
