Grave, agile, majestic, picturesque, the keyboard output of François Couperin, with its array of indispensable ornaments and piquant details, enables us to follow all the impulses of the soul of ‘the most poetic of our harpsichord composers’ as Debussy called him. Performed here on the piano, which brings them its own special colour, these harpsichord pieces in their various moods, retain all their inimitable charm.
