Hugo Reyne

Background: Originally intended as the first release in Hugo Reyne's invaluable series of Lully recordings, this compendium of music composed for the Royal Wedding of Louis XIV and Maria Theresa (which finally brought peace between France and Spain, in 1660) proves well worth waiting for. It is a wide-ranging collection of pieces, mostly by Lully and Cavalli, and mostly music for a ballet 'Ercole amante', which was not finally performed until the theatre, specially built for its production, was completed some two years after the marriage! We have come to rely on Hugo Reyne's brilliance, in bringing his painstaking scholarship to tingling life, and this new offering will certainly not disappoint.
