Lully: Atys - Cappella Mediterranea - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

When Atys was first performed before the court in 1676, Lully was at the peak of his triumph: his tragédie lyrique became 'the King's opera,' so highly did the monarch esteem its quality. The chords unfold to embody human passions and divine wills, guiding the young Atys’s romantic impulses and the wounded fury of the goddess Cybèle. With Atys, Lully establishes love as the central thread of the drama, weaving around this sovereign passion a tale where the impulses of the heart, celestial jealousies, and human flaws intertwine to seal the fate of the heroes. Leonardo García-Alarcón conducts this new version with exquisite finesse, elevating Lully's music to carry souls into an enchanting dream.
