Rameau knew that true music is the language of the heart. Conductor Alexis Kossenko effortlessly follows the French innovator down this path. Zoroastre from 1749 tells a love story, cloaked in the symbolism of freemasonry. Rameau captures the battle between good and evil, light and dark in endlessly fascinating music. With this tragédie lyrique, Rameau flew in the face of 18th century operatic tradition. Tailor-made for the baroque ensemble Les Ambassadeurs. With a prestigious cast fired up by stars including Reinoud Van Mechelen, Jodie Devos and Véronique Gens.
