Composer of the Week: Lully

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

4: Acis et Galatee
Lully's last theatrical masterpiece was written at a time when people's attitudes to moral standards were changing and Parisians were becoming almost pious. This left
Lully and his frequently scandalous private life out in the cold. Robert King recounts the story of the shepherd Acis, whose love for the sea-nymph Galatea is theatened only by that of a jealous rival - Poiyphemos, the Cyclops. Acis et Galatee (excerpts) Les Musiciens du Louvre, director Marc Minkowski
