Salieri: Cublai, gran kan de' Tartari
Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques

Salieri's ‘Cublai, gran kan de' Tartari’ (1788) displays all its heroic-comic loquaciousness, for Giambattista Casti's libretto barely conceals its piquant parody of the European monarchical courts behind its plot set in Cathay. The figure of the Great Khan, in particular, is a droll evocation of Peter the Great. Censored even before its premiere, the work waited to be resurrected in its original version with the help of Les Talens Lyriques and their conductor Christophe Rousset, ardent defenders of Salieri's music.
