24 FLAC Discount A keen advocate of the works of Antonio Salieri, Christophe Rousset continues his exploration of the composer's works, having unearthed the manuscript of another masterpiece, the three-act opera Armida, first performed on 2 June 1771 in Vienna, which presents a perfect synthesis of the Italian and French styles. Salieri was just twenty when he turned to the difficult opera seria genre. He chose to tackle a well-known subject: that of the love affair between the Christian Crusader Rinaldo and the Saracen sorceress Armida, borrowed from Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme liberata. A very dense plot focuses on an intense drama involving just four characters. The fluidity, originality and brio of his compositional style were to ensure Salieri's lasting reputation throughout Europe. Ardent défenseur de l'œuvre d'Antonio Salieri, Christophe Rousset poursuit son exploration en exhumant le manuscrit d'Armida, parfaite synthèse des styles italien et français, créé à Vienne le 2 juin 1771. Salieri a tout juste vingt ans lorsqu'il aborde l'opera seria avec le célèbre sujet des amours de Renaud et d'Armide, tiré de la Gerusalemme liberata du Tasse. En trois actes, tissés dans une trame très dense, Armida concentre l'intensité dramatique autour de quatre personnages dont la rencontre figure la confrontation entre Occident et Orient. La plasticité de sa composition, son originalité et son brio assureront durablement la réputation de Salieri, qui se déploiera triomphalement par toute l'Europe.
