About

A keen advocate of the works of Antonio Salieri, Christophe Rousset continues his exploration of the composer's works, having unearthed the manuscript of another masterpiece. The three-act opera Armida, first performed on June 2, 1771 in Vienna, presents a perfect synthesis of the Italian and French styles. Salieri was just twenty when he turned to the difficult opera seria genre. He chose to tackle a well-known subject: that of the love affair between the Christian Crusader Rinaldo and the Saracen sorceress Armida, borrowed from Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme liberata. A very dense plot focuses on an intense drama involving just four characters. The fluidity, originality and brio of his compositional style were to ensure Salieri's lasting reputation throughout Europe.

Reviews

March 2021

The cast is solid. The title-role has strong possibilities which soprano Lenneke Ruiten regularly seizes, among them the opera’s close, when Armida’s destructive fury reaches its apogee. Teresa Iervolino deploys her vividly dramatic mezzo as her confidante, Ismene. Florie Valiquette’s sweet soprano is well cast in the (originally castrato) role of the errant knight Rinaldo, while Ashley Riches is thoroughly engaged as his friend Ubaldo.

September/October 2021

There is nothing to say about the performance other than it is uniformly excellent. As usual the Talens Lyriques, under the capable direction of Christophe Rousset, performs with power and, where needed, grace. Salieri’s opera is filled with fabulous music, excellent orchestration, and good technical skill that is both powerful and emotional.

March 2021

Lenneke Ruiten and Florie Valiquette blend perfectly. The latter makes a magnificent Rinaldo...[Ruiten's] singing is brilliant, touching and unfailingly lovely...The 20-strong Namur Chamber Choir, whether cavorting rustically or threatening demonically, provide excellent support...The richness and beauty of the playing, under the unerring direction of Christophe Rousset, is beyond praise.

March 2021

[Rousset] has produced a quite outstanding addition, distinguished not only by the superb orchestral playing that unfailingly characterizes the work of Les Talens Lyriques but also a fine cast led by two sopranos that are less familiar names among artists working with Rousset.

International Classical Music Awards 2022

An intense love drama involving just four characters, it is perfectly performed by the soloists together with the orchestra Les Talens Lyriques and the Choeur de Chambre de Namur. The opera was premiered in 1771 in Vienna, and 250 years later we are grateful to Christophe Rousset for providing the opportunity to listen to this fantastic recording of a true masterpiece by the young Salieri.
