Does anybody know where I can lay hands on a copy of the Nonesuch release of Rameau's Pygmalion? It was on LP, not CD (although I'd love to discover it's available somewhere on CD). Failing that, does anybody know who the performers were or the catalogue number? Thanks! (With performers and catalogue number I can ask Parnassus to search for me.)

_The Viking Opera Guide_, 1993, lists three recordings of this work, of which the earliest, dating from 1981 (and therefore pre-CD), is the following: Elwes, Van der Sluis, Yakar, La Petite Bande, Leonhardt, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi. (p.841)
Given the late date for an LP, I suspect this is not the recording you are seeking, but it's some kind of starting-point.
I do hope this helps...

I know of two CDs of it:
Virgin Veritas (p)1993: 7243 5 61539 2 9 (the numbers from '5' to '2' are in bold type, the first four numerals and the final '9' are in regular type, whatever that means) The title is cited as Pigmalion (sic) and the notes argue that this is the correct spelling. (Filler work eight minutes of excerpts from La Temple de la Gloire.) Pigmalion: Jean-Paul Fouchécourt (tenor) Amour: Greta de Reyghere (soprano) Céphise: Nicole Fournié (soprano) La Statue: Sandrine Piau (soprano) Le Concert Spirituel, Hervé Niquet (dir.)
Harmonia Mundi (p)1992: #7901381 Title: Pygmalion ('filler' - Nélée et Myrthis) Howard Crook, Sandrine Piau, Agnès Mellon, Donatienne Michel-Dansac Les Arts Florissants, Christie Sorry this is more sketchy, but my copy of this has gone missing for some reason.
