I agree with Bernard.  A Rameau suite on modern instruments is a loser
from scratch.  Also, as Bernard noted, a Rameau suite is very light musical
entertainment.  I definitely prefer Rameau's cantatas.  Concerning that
area, has anyone heard the new Rameau cantata set on ASV?

I'm not sure why Bernard considered the concert programming unimaginative.
Any Rameau at a modern instruments concert is a relative rarity.
