Soprano<\/a><\/strong> Marie Lys is deeply moving as Sangaride, thanks to her luminous colours and delicate handling of climaxes. Tenor Reinoud Van Mechelen is her ideal partner as Atys: vocally sinuous, interpretatively precocious, energetically sexy. Philippe Est\u00e8phe as C\u00e9l\u00e9nus and Ambroisine Br\u00e9 as Cyb\u00e8le render audible, through their fine handling of line, the dissolution of their characters\u2019 authority. The Choeur de Chambre de Namur embraces extremes of characterisation, from violent devils to languid nymphs, with infectious relish.<\/p>The instrumentalists of Les Talens Lyriques brilliantly tease out the drama, as for instance by edging a sunny dance with the menace of approaching crisis, but the ultimate glory is Rousset\u2019s playing of the harpsichord, to which he gives its own affective voice \u2013 rejoicing, chiding, urging, weeping \u2013 to match the action.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
