Classical Classroom, Episode 205: Nicholas McGegan on Rameau and Music that Stands the Test of Time
Manage episode 245632549 series 2042465
Conductor Nicholas McGegan, of San Francisco Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra fame (and so much more) is an expert in conducting Baroque music. To some of us at the podcast, this sounds as obscure as being a modern day village cobbler or ironing one's hair with an actual iron. But in this episode, McGegan explains his love for this music and why it - and other kinds of music - will continue to be relevant for centuries to come. He illustrates his point by teaching about an opera by the composer Rameau with a snarky text (aka, libretto) by Voltaire which is still making audiences laugh today. Ch-check it out.
All music in this episode from Rameau: Le Temple de la Gloire, released July 2018 on Philharmania Baroque Productions.
