    Overview

    Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques have opened countless ears to the rich expressivepossibilities and dashing musical vitality of Baroque music over the past quarter of a century.

    Named after the subtitle of one of Rameau’s operas, Les fêtes d’Hébé, Rousset’s band isfamed worldwide for its entrancing interpretations and profound understanding of early Frenchrepertoire. The group here turns its acclaimed collective expertise to the French dance rhythmsof Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1 and the Orchestral Suite from Rameau’s opera Castor et Pollux,presenting each work in company with instrumental concertos of terrific virtuosity and spirit.
