After 'Les Danades' and 'Les Horaces', 'Les Talens Lyriques' concludes the group's cycle of Antonio Salieri's French operas. Often unfairly overshadowed by his brilliant contemporary Mozart, Salieri here composed a genuine masterpiece on the only libretto ever written by Beaumarchais. Salieri has a taste for exoticism and, like Mozart in 'Die Entfhrung aus dem Serail', he transports us into a fantasy Orient seen through the eyes of the pre-revolutionary philosophy of the Enlightenment. The music follows the story's misunderstandings, plot twists and spectacular scenes to produce an opera that prefigures Romanticism, exhilaratingly performed by Les Talens Lyriques and Les Chantres of the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles. A release that should restore Salieri's prestige once and for all.
