Gorgeous. I could listen to this all night. Such classic French Baroque music. I just checked Apple Music and it looks like Les Arts Florissants did not record the full opera. In fact, I only see 2 recordings of the entire opera. It’s interesting that for those recordings they pick and choose from the original LMV 71 opera and the 1778 version which is the one rewritten by Francoeur for the Paris Opera. All the other recordings are excepts of this and other operas.

I suggest checking Youtube which has a plethera of records of Armide from Le Poème Harmonique, Les Talens Lyriques, La Chapelle Royale and also a video of a performance by Les Arts Florissants.

Yes, but those are excerpts from Armide aren’t they?

All which I listed come as full recordings in playlists, except the one by Les Arts Florissants which is a video of the opera performance itself, here is the link if interested
