Both the studio recordings made in Grenoble and Amiens and the live video in the palace of Versailles introduce us to a first-class performance that, as far as I’m concerned, can serve as a model for everyone who would want to reproduce this music. This is so incredibly well done that it is truly breathtaking. Everything comes together perfectly in this phenomenally realised, dramatic anthology: music, sound, acting performances, decors, direction, image.
