La Simphonie du Marais
Conductor: Hugo Reyne

This is perhaps the most enjoyable Lully recording to date, a superb performance of one of Lully's finest operas. The well-known frost scene "avec une voix tremblante" at the beginning of Act III was the model for the frost scene in Purcell's King Arthur. The Entrée des Forgerons, with rhythmic anvil accompaniment which follows immediately as the next test for Io, is unique to my knowledge. Another seeming influence on Purcell is Fame's trumpet tune in the Prologue, which sounds like "I come to sing great Zempoalla's story" in The Indian Queen. Hugo Reyne reconstructed the original version from the 1719 score, the 1677 libretto, and a set of 10 separate parts published in 1677. The booklet includes an excellent English translation by John Tyler Tuttle.
