About this concert

With his third harpsichord book, Couperin discovered his own unique voice. The old-fashioned suite has had its day, the ordre reaches its peak. Although the number of sections per ordre is restricted, a powerful atmospheric description provides character and coherence. This legendary publication contains some of the most remarkable examples of Baroque keyboard repertoire: right up Bertrand Cuiller’s street.
