Couperin: Dynasty Vol. 1

Описание: Couperin Dynasty Vol.1

Admiration for the French composer, harpsichordist and organist, Louis Couperin continues to grow steadily today, but it was not so during his lifetime. The first important edition of his work in modern times, in its latest revision by Thurston Dart (used for this set), catalogues 129 pieces as authentic. Among these, the unmeasured Préludes stand out as a kind of ‘controlled improvisation’ in which the composer gives us a genre that began life in the hands of the lutenists and now finds itself at the very peak of 17th-century French harpsichord music. The rest of his music features dances typical of the suite form, including the Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Gigue, Chaconne and Passacaille. Collectively, they help to place Couperin among the greatest composers of the 17th century alongside Frescobaldi, Chambonnieres, Froberger and D’Anglebert.

Composer: François Couperin

The Couperin Dynasty, a renowned family of French composers, spanned several generations and played a pivotal role in the development of Baroque music during the 17th and 18th centuries. This musical lineage, centered around the Parisian court, produced a remarkable array of composers, the most prominent of whom were François Couperin, his nephew Armand-Louis Couperin, Louis Couperin and Gervais-François Couperin. The Couperin Dynasty represent French Baroque music at its best, their keyboard works the very epitome of French refinement, delicacy, elegance and expression.
