In April 2023 we will celebrate the 80th birthday of John Eliot Gardiner, a pioneering conductor deeply associated with the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, with which he dedicated his 60-year-long (and still counting) career to the promotion of Baroque music. This December we highlight his main contributions to the long-neglected stage music of Rameau, starting with the third act from Les Fêtes d’Hébé ou les Talens lyriques featuring Jean-Claude Orliac and Jill Gomez.
