Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) left two very
different versions of his tragédie en musique
Zoroastre : the first, in 1749, suffered from
cabals and the work was withdrawn from the
repertory. Rameau gave it a thoroughgoing revision
in 1756. At this time, he was at the height of
his powers. Melody, harmony, orchestration and
choral writing no longer held any secrets for him.
Zoroastre brought still further innovation. For
the first time, he dispensed with a prologue, and
turned the overture into a philosophical
?programme?, the struggle between day and night,
between good and evil. The 1749 version is
entirely governed by avant-garde ideas; Zoroastre
resembles Tamino in Die Zauberflöte , but two
generations earlier. This disconcerted some of the
audience: Zoroastre was a moral, social and
philosophical opera. The 1749 version has never
been revived in modern times. Alexis Kossenko
takes up the challenge with zest, accompanied by
an outstanding cast including Véronique Gens,
Jodie Devos, Reinoud Van Mechelen, Mathias Vidal
and Tassis Christoyannis.
