Long considered a milestone in the discography of keyboard music, Christophe Rousset’s readings of François Couperin’s complete works for harpsichord now sound better than ever in a magnificent high-resolution remastering.
Performed on several splendid instruments, these indispensable recordings made in the 1980s and 1990s quickly achieved reference status upon their release. Partnered by William Christie and Blandine Rannou in the pieces for two harpsichords, Christophe Rousset brings abundant virtuosity, poetry, fantasy, and colourto this landmark cycle in French harpsichord music.
