Additional information:
Baroque music is usually associated with the German giants Bach, Handel, Telemann and the like, or to sunnier parts in Italy where Vivaldi, Corelli and Albinoni wrote their concertos: but one nearly forgets that also in France great music was composed in the Baroque! One of the most important composers was Francois Couperin (1668-1733), imperial court composer of the most charming, graceful music: look at the French pictures of that time and you can imagine what kind of music.
This 7-CD set contains the complete chamber music of the French master, with the complete Les Nations (a musical depiction of nationalities), Concerts Royaux, Les Gouts réunis, LApothéose de Corelli and de Lully and other pieces. Expertly played on original instruments by the ensemble Musica ad Rhenum conducted by specialist Jed Wentz. |
