N.B. 1: This is a recording of Telemann's Brockes-Passion. However, in some arias Telemann's music is replaced by the settings from the Brockes Passions by George Frideric Handel and Johann Mattheson. Pichon also included a motet by Johann Kuhnau in the arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, and an aria by Christoph Graupner.

N.B. 2: The recording is posted as a large single file, but a cue file is added, which allows for the file to be split into single tracks. The posting also includes a text file with a complete track-list and an indication of the additions and replacements. These are based on a programme of a performance in Bordeau some days before.

Rameau's predecessors - Le Concert d'Apollon (João Rival)

As director of the Académie Royale de Musique, Jean-Baptiste Lully determined what music would be played at the Académie - particularly his own. Lully's death in 1687 meant that he no longer directedly put his mark on the programming, but his influence was still clearly visible in the structure of works by the new generation of composers. Only Jean-Philippe Rameau's new harmonies and his 'shocking' debut opera Hippolyte et Aricie (1733) finally ushered in the end of the Lully era. Music from the period between Lully and Rameau is often incomplete: scores consist only of the bass line and the melody, with the internal voices omitted. In order to restore this music to its full glory, Le Concert d'Apollon has reconstructed the internal voices to the orchestral movements from operas from the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth century.
