Lully / Rousset Psyche CD

Venus, irritated by the young mortal Psych? whose beauty radiates all across the world, dispatches Cupid to impose a thousand trials upon her, which the young victim triumphs over to the point of becoming immortal. In this mythological fable, which is his sixth trag?die lyrique (1678), Lully shows off his immense talent and takes revenge on Moli?re, for whom he had written the music of a monumental Psych? in 1671, and which had been the cause of their falling out. A connoisseur of Lully, Christophe Rousset conducts a sumptuous cast that gives his Psych? all the luster of the great French operas!
