[@MegaCirse]

I've clicked through so many videos, through so many incredible, weird ambient landscapes... I feel like I'm going on a train trip, seeing a succession of crazy, never-before-seen scenes from history, important, weird musics through the window as I pass... there's so much to explore. So many places to alight and dwell in the ambiences that are on offer. This stop, in particular, is brilliant

[@exitdogger]

When I started looking for Rameau almost nothing was available..now he is well represented and I often have felt lucky to be alive to witness this! Rameau is my Patron Saint!

[@PMS1950]

Fabulous music. Such elegance, style and joy. Marvellous man.

I've been looking for this for sooooooooo long! I listened to the performance live on the radio, and when I heard there was dance as well then I was wishing so hard seeing it all.

[@josjanssen6733]

Fantastic !!!! Rameau made such exihilarating and moving music. He was one of the revolutionaries in music. It's a mind-boggling eye-opener to hear (and see) his music in this context. Wish i had been there. Must have been quite a night :-) Bravo to the good soul that uploaded this !

Merveilleuse sélection de Gardiner Il y a vraiment tous les extraits que je préfère chez Rameau. Tous les morceaux atypiques : L'air de la matelote d'Hyppolite et Aricie, le sublimissime menuet dans le goût de vielle de Platée, la contredanse finale des Boréades. Que des merveilles !

[@EPManny]

At this moment....this video seems like the best thing I've ever seen and heard!!! Rameau's music is full of richness and elegance. The orchestra and conductor are flawless; the dancers so graceful. And to top it off my South African compatriots are featured. Well done to Buskaid!!!

[@yves921]

[@DanieleSRD]

I agree with the Maestro. This is a miracle music, there's everything inside. Thanks so much Rameau and Gardiner.

[@ichirofakename]

What a great show, what fabulous music. Rameau! Thanks for posting this great video.

[@jmtappenden]

Allez la musique tres belle et les danses tres vif de Rameau et Lully! Wonderful music.Thanks & best wishes.

[@Allanfearn]

There are three outstanding documents of the rediscovery of Rameau's stage music - Nadia Boulanger's 1950 LP, Gardiners late 1970's Prom performance of Les Boreades, and this 2007 Prom, which must be one of the greatest of all Proms. At the moment, this is the only one freely available in any form. When you compare it with the currently available DVD of Les Paladins there's no doubt at all who gets their Rameau right and who has no idea how to. The BBC should get this on to DVD now.

He is certainly somewhat of a musical 'deity' to me... One of the great spirits of musical beauty and achievement, whose sound goes right to the heart and soul!

[@openmusic3904]

For me Rameau is the musical equivalent of a nymph king. Enchanting, ethereal, fleeting, and the embodiment of grace and beauty, as if the music is suspended in midair.

I find it fascinating how the rhythm and overall feel of both the traditional African dancing and the baroque French music go together so well. It just goes to prove how art is universal, and it serves the same purpose no matter when or where we are.

Rameau's music so beautifully performed by dancers and musicians. It inspires and gives meaning, purpose and joy to life.

[@pierresentenac]

Remarquable Gardiner!! Il a été en fait un précurseur qui a cru dans le génie universel de Rameau, depuis les fêtes d'Hébé son superbe Hippolyte et Aricie pour exécuter en première mondiale Les Boréades. Le spectacle merveilleux qu'il nous donne est là pour prouver sa passion pour le maitre!! Car Jean-Philippe est en fait un Magicien des sons et des harmonies mais aussi des ballets donc de la danse... tout cela est intemporel.... Bravo john Eliot et merci pour cette exceptionnelle prestation!

[@RenaissanceShe]

[@JamesPollMaine59]

The performance is sublime. The three ring circus staging was often distracting and not a welcome compliment to Rameau's genius.

[@bloodgrss]

None better in this music today...what a fabulous concert of Great music....under-appreciated from its time until about 50 years ago... Not a bad reason to be alive today ! P.S.- the sour notes referred to below on the French hoboy are meant to be-a Rameau equivalent of dissonance- inherent in the music for the story of Zais....

[@ac8907]

Bravo, beau travail

[@jockrangeos]

John Eliot Gardiner, le plus français des britaniques ! Son amour de la musique française prend ici toute sa dimension avec ces airs du Grand Rameau dans une mise en scène que n'aurait pas renié Louis XIV.

[@paacer]

What a beautiful piece of music at 13:12 with two wonderful soloists plus the choir .

[@AscanioInAlba1]

Allanfearn (below) is correct. This needs to be released on DVD. I watched this programme enraptured with the sheer beauty of Rameau's music as always (what a vital boundary-pusher he was!) and the inspired modern dance. I get quite dewy-eyed over the sequences from 18.00 and 57.55.

I love Baroque music and dance. It was so modern compared to formulaic Italian opera. The Paris National opera has a version of Rameau’s Les Sauvages that is insanely wonderful.

Well this performance has certainly split opinions! Surely Rameau would have loved this display of esoteric wit in the dancers, and those in charge of Louis XV's court entertainments would have paid a premium for the African dancers - surely an exotic 18thC coup at Versailles!

I saw this for the first time when it was broadcast on British television. I tend to be immensely purist, (i'm getting on these days) but I watch this, and I am elated that the art of dance and Rameau's beautiful music can be combined with a modern homage to Baroque movement dance and it work so well. I must be mellowing. I do hope not. Here's something else I've observed. Imagine for one moment that Sir Jphn Elliot G, is not the conductor, but is brought on to the rostrum and told to dance to the music. I see him dancing only and I love what he does. And coincidentally, the orchestra follows him. Try it.

Rameau's compositions seem to be enjoying something of a revival. I would like to think that an increased popularity for Baroque music in general is part of a reaction to Jacobinism, that fanatical doctrine which has been responsible for untold misery down to the present day.

...And to think I am related to this genius Rameau. Was all his music composed for the "nobility"? I dislike the fact that this looks like a political show - it might not be but it looks like it. The music is great nonetheless.
