Composer:
Jean-Philippe Rameau

Artist(s):
Les Musiciens du Louvre

Conductor:
Marc Minkowski

Background: Une symphonie imaginaire is Marc Minkowski's collection of orchestral pieces from Rameau's operas, compiled into a dramatic cycle that represents both the world of French Baroque dance music and the origins of French symphonic music. What emerges is a CD that is as dramatic as it is delightful and easily accessible!

Minkowski's earlier recordings of music by Rameau, also with his Musiciens du Louvre, have received numerous critics' prizes, including two Diapasons d'or and the Record Academy Prize of Tokyo.
