December's 'pick of the month' in the recordings section of France's Opéra Magazine, with their 'Diamond' accolade for outstanding achievement, is Rameau's 'Pastorale Héroïque' Achante et Céphise, with a cast headed up by Cyrille Dubois and Sabine Devieilhe ('We could not dream of a more delightful pair of lovers') under Alexis Kossenko.

This is the first recording of the work, originally given in 1751 to celebrate the the birth of Louis XV's grandson, the Duke of Burgundy.
