Armide was the last tragédie lyrique by Lully and Quinault: undoubtedly Quinault's finest dramatic achievement and the pinnacle of Lully's tragédie en musique, who died the year after writing it. Never was the language in Lully's music so beautiful and tragic, and the drama of the Christian knight who falls in love with the sorceress who refuses to kill him was so deeply felt that it remained on stage for a century! Vincent Dumestre conducts with passion Lully's final masterpiece, whose eponymous character, played by the immense Stephanie d'Oustrac, never fails to enchant us.
