Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Couperin's First Book of harpsichord pieces is a sort of musical house cleaning, representing the publication of a large number of pre-existing works that had already achieved a measure of popularity in manuscript copies. Couperin followed up his success with three more books published at intervals until the very end of his life. Collectively, these 27 suites of pieces (which the composer called "ordres") represent the pinnacle of French keyboard music, and they had a huge influence on subsequent composers, right down to Debussy and Ravel in our century. Christophe Rousset's series is a landmark in Baroque keyboard performance, and a splendid tribute to one of the epoch's greatest masters. --David Hurwitz

Haunting.......2000-05-29

This performance was by Christophe Rousset, one of France's (indeed, the world's) most talented harpsichordists, on period instruments. He brings all of his technical and interpretive powers to bear in this performance. Period tunings reveal the richness of tone of the original instruments.

The engineering here contributes to one of the most complex and thrilling recordings of French harpsichord music ever made.

It won't appeal to everyone, but if you are a harpsichordist, an appreciator of Couperin, or you've enjoyed Rousset's other recordings, you won't want to miss this.
