Initially Rameau was known primarily as a philosopher thanks to his scientific approach to music. So when he presented his operas, he did not receive a particularly warm reception from les Parisiens. The public did not expect him to be able to write such delightful music. Nothing proved further from the truth! He garnered his first successes as an opera composer with Hippolyte et Aricie, Les Indes Galantes, and his masterpiece Castor et Pollux.
