You probably missed the limited UK screening of the film Le Roi Danse. It is a film about the historical relationship between Louis XIV and his superintendent of music, Jean-Baptiste Lully over four decades of the 17th century. As one might expect, most of the music is by Lully himself and is intended for choreographed dancing drawn from his early ballets de cour, his highly entertaining middle-period comedic-ballets and finally his propagandistic tragedies lyriques.

The music of Lully’s contemporaries is represented by two dances of his predecessor on the violin, Jacques Cordier, a single air de cour of his fatherin-law, Michel Lambert, and an air and a recit from Cambert’s 1671 opera Pornone. All the selections, snatched from their original context, sit somewhat uncomfortably, and the booklet essays do little to allay this impression. Indeed, no texts are provided for the vocal items. And if you thought to find dances by Lully’s most formidable French contemporary, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, or his faithful lieutenant, Marin Marais (memorably revived in the 1991 film Tous les matins du monde), you will be disappointed. With all the fine native French period ensembles available today it is perhaps odd that the producers chose to work with foreign musicians. This was a lost opportunity. Reinhard Goebel and Musica Andqua Köln are highly skilled and experienced period players, but they aren’t specially known for their performances of French music and in general fail to do justice to the spirit of the music. The performances tend towards the pedestrian rather than the balletic: their sturdy and four-square renditions of the dances convey neither the wit and frisson of the dancing slaves and monkeys, ‘Frivelins’ and ‘Polichinelles’, nor the elegance and refinement we usually attribute to the stylised rituals at the court of the Sun King. The cross rhythms and hemiola effects that abound in the dances (for example in those attributed to Cordier) are understated here and, unusually for Musica Antiqua Ktiln, the tempi seem on the slow side, presumably to suit the dancers in the film. Also open to debate is the violinist’s ornamentation in ‘Le Sommeil’ from Atys (which, if I’m not mistaken, was played in the film by Lully – accompanied by several soldiers in full regalia – posted outside the king’s sumptuously appointed campaign tent during a nocturnal romp with a royal mistress). But don’t let me put you off: the film is a fascinating foray into docu-drama and the CD a bon souvenir.
