Philippe Gagné (Pygmalion), Lieselot De Wilde (Céphise), Caroline Weynants (Amour), Apotheosis Orchestra, Korneel Bernolet
With Cupid?s assistance, the sculptor Pygmalion
brings his beloved creation to life. This
recording treats us to two versions of the
celebrated story. Jean-Philippe Rameau?s familiar
one-act opera Pigmalion, in which the deus ex
machina fulfils Pygmalion?s desires, is followed
by Georg Benda?s little-known gem of the same
name: a gripping monodrama for spoken voice and
orchestra in which we can imagine the sculptor
undergoing an inner conflict between desire and
reality. Rising star Korneel Bernolet conducts his
Apotheosis Orchestra and a group of young vocal
partners: the Canadian haute-contre Philippe Gagné
sings the passionate Pigmalion in Rameau?s
opéra-ballet, alongside Lieselot De Wilde as his
wife Céphise and Caroline Weynants as the divine
Amour.
Morgane Heyse performs the role of the enchanted
Statue in both versions. German bass-baritone
Norman D. Patzke makes his debut as voice actor
for Benda?s monodrama.
