Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville, Les Arts Florissants, ...

Warner Music France, 1997

I can't imagine...
...why everybody hasn't become a rabid fan of French Baroque music, especially in the last decade with performers of the quality of Bill Christie's Les Arts Florissants! It's lively, it's direct to the senses, it's rich in variety, and even when it's deeply spiritual ...

Mondonville - 6 Sonates, Op. 3

Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville, Marc Minkowski, ...

Archiv Produktion, 2003

Underappreciated Form, Composer, and Musical Group
This set of sonatas by Mondonville is highly recommended. I first heard his music on the old satellite radio system we had. But I was hesitant to buy this set because it was hailed as being sonatas, rather than concerti grossi. I find that it is much closer to the ...

***** THE BEST CD OF 2006 *****
Yes, this disc has been showered with critical plaudits, and rightfully so in this case. If you have not yet become acquainted with the glories of the French Baroque, you can do a lot worse than this. The virtuosity of Les Talens Lyriques is a thing to behold. The ...

Hyperion UK, 2000

French grands motets with fire
Mondonville was among the last generation of French composers to write grands motets in the tradition of Lully, Delelande and Campra. While they conform to the usual pattern, I find that he has a bit more of an Italian fire to his music than the average French ...

Elektra / WEA, 1992

Lovely music and recording
I had never heard of Mondonville before hearing this recording, and am very glad I pursued it. My local classical radio station played the overture from this piece and I fell in love with it. If you can find a good price on it pick it up. I can't say I would pay ...

Jean Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville, Christophe Rousset, ...

Polygram Records, 1997

A wonderful surprise.
Rousset's instrumental forces display plenty of verve and the vocalists are top notch. The surprise is the wonderful music itself, by the rarely-recorded Mondonville. Admirers of Rameau will undoubtedly appreciate much that is to be heard here. Though Mondonville is ...
