Jean-Philippe Rameau:
Les Indes galantes RCT 44
Ballet héroÏque in a prologue
and four acts
Edited by Sylvie Bouissou
The main body of the new edition of “Les Indes galantes” published in
“Opera Omnia Rameau” (OOR IV/2, 7), restores the version authorised
by Rameau in 1736. This basic editorial decision has made it possible
to present a fully coherent and authenticated reading of the work
(after the adjustments from the earliest performances). All other
versions before and after 1736 are gathered together in 19 appendices.
Sylvie Bouissou’s new edition differs markedly from previous modern
editions and all existing recordings. With its appendices she does
justice to the performer’s need for Rameau’s various revisions while
finally making accessible a version actually authorised by Rameau.
For the first time it is presented in its complete stylistic and dramatic
context.
