[66] Opera -William Christie Conducts David Et Jonathas By Charpentier At The Aix Festival [Etcohod]
David et Jonathas, by Marc-Antoine Charpentier Biblical tragedy in five acts with and a prologue, libretto by Père François de Paule Bretonneau William Christie (musical direction) Andreas Homoki (stage direction) Pascal Charbonneau (David), Ana Quintans (Jonathas), Neal Davies (Saül), Frédéric Caton (Achis), Kresimir Spicer (Joabel), Dominique Visse (La Pythonisse), Pierre Bessière (L'Ombre de Samuel) Chorus and Orchestra Les Arts Florissants Recorded at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, Théâtre de l'Archevêché, in 2012 The Old Testament tells how the young David, victor over Goliath, calmed King Saul's dreams with his psalms and how he developed a deep friendship with the King's son. Inspired by this deep affection, Charpentier composed an opera for a boys' school: David et Jonathas, a biblical tragedy which, beneath its edifying veneer, displays vibrant scenes that are as passionate as those of the great French lyric tragedy of the time. The opera freed the French composer from comparison with Lully, in whose shadow he remained while the latter was still alive. Since its premiere at the Louis-le-Grand Jesuit College in 1688 and its modern revival in 1981 at the Lyon Opera, David et Jonathas has been played in concert, recorded on a few occasions but rarely staged. William Christie, who already produced a seminal recording of the opera, will conduct for the first time a staged version of Charpentier's masterpiece at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence.
