HMV Announces Exciting New Release: Jean-Philippe Rameau’s “Pygmalion” and “Zemire” Performed by Les talens lyriques and Christophe Rousset
Tokyo, Japan – [Date of Publication, e.g., September 2, 2023] – HMV is delighted to announce the upcoming release of a captivating new recording featuring the celebrated French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau’s masterful works, “Pygmalion” and “Zemire.” This highly anticipated album showcases the exceptional talents of the renowned ensemble Les talens lyriques, led by the esteemed conductor Christophe Rousset.
Scheduled for release on September 1, 2025, at 08:45, this release promises to be a significant addition to the discography of Baroque music. The album, titled “ファン・メヘレン＆ア・ノクテ・テンポリス／ラモー：ピグマリオン、イゾ：ゼミード” (Fan Mechelen & a nocte temporis / Rameau: Pygmalion, Izar: Zemide), will be available through HMV, a trusted name in music retail and a dedicated supporter of classical artistry.
Jean-Philippe Rameau, a towering figure of the French Baroque era, is renowned for his innovative approach to opera and his rich, expressive musical language. “Pygmalion,” a one-act opera-ballet first performed in 1748, is a perfect example of Rameau’s ability to blend dramatic storytelling with exquisite musicality. The story, based on the classical myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor who falls in love with his own creation, provides a fertile ground for Rameau’s virtuosic orchestral writing and soaring vocal melodies.
Complementing “Pygmalion” on this release is “Zemire,” a captivating work that further highlights Rameau’s genius. While the specific details of the “Zemire” presented on this recording are to be fully elaborated, its inclusion alongside “Pygmalion” suggests a thoughtful curation of Rameau’s diverse operatic output.
Les talens lyriques, an ensemble celebrated for its historically informed performances and its dedication to bringing neglected gems of the Baroque repertoire to life, is a perfect ensemble to interpret these Rameau masterpieces. Under the masterful direction of Christophe Rousset, known for his profound understanding of the period’s musical aesthetics and his ability to elicit nuanced and vibrant performances from his musicians, listeners can anticipate an interpretation that is both authentic and deeply moving.
This release from HMV is not only an opportunity to revisit the timeless brilliance of Jean-Philippe Rameau but also to experience his music through the lens of some of the most respected artists in the field of early music. We encourage all lovers of classical music, particularly those with an appreciation for the Baroque period, to mark their calendars for the September 1, 2025 release. Further details regarding the specific vocalists and the comprehensive track listing will be made available closer to the release date.
HMV is proud to present this exceptional recording and looks forward to sharing the extraordinary talents of Les talens lyriques and Christophe Rousset with audiences worldwide.
