JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAU (1683-1764): Orchestral Suites from Zaïs and Hippolyte et Aricie.

Description: For those of you who just can't take the singing, here are two suites of the purely orchestral music from the dark, stormy opera Hippolyte (1733) and Zaïs, the more sunshiny, pastorale-type ballet héroique of 1748. Over an hour's worth of music; 19 numbers from each work. L'Orfeo Baroque Orchestra; Michi Gaigg.
