Mondonville: Titon et l’Aurore

For the 250th anniversary of the passing of Jean-Joseph de Mondonville (October 11th) we re-release this amazing version of his opera Titon et l’Aurore, conducted by Marc Minkowski. It is the only one ever recorded. The opera was a tremendous success for Mondonville when it was premiered in the midst of the infamous Querelle des Bouffons. This lovely pastorale was staged again last year in Paris and Versailles, with great success.
