About
Rameau was a virtuoso and dominated all the current dramatic music genres combining them in a way he wanted. The outcome was Les Paladins, a mixture of tall stories and farce, erotic and moral, serious and funny, real and fantastic with the lavish richness of Rameau’s musical language. Available for the first time on CD, this long-lost treasure will be much sought after.
NB: French-only libretto.

BBC Music MagazineFebruary 2011Opera Choice
February 2011
Junghänel proves as adept a stylist in French music as he is in German Baroque. The soft-grained acoustics of Duisberg Opera House show the vitality of the string playing to great effect; the Düsseldorf instruments wreathe a heady spell. Top marks to the uncredited language coach
February 2011
the excellence of the period orchestra, especially, ensures one to appreciate the delights of Rameau's instrumentation
March 2011
Konrad Junghänel directs all with a lively sense of pacing. His responses to Rameau's sensitive, often vivid handling of instrumental colour are perceptive...Thomas Michael Allen as the fairy, Manto, is the most rewarding member of the cast...eloquently sung and sensitively inflected.
