The art of playing the harpsichord
20 January/20h00 France / Lyon
Couperin(s), Rameau & Pancrace Royer
On the occasion of the four hundredth anniversary of Louis Couperin's birth, Jean Rondeau dives in the musician's complete works. Through his Suites, where Baroque dance is at its peak, and some unmeasured Preludes. Jean Rondeau pays homage to him by accompanying him with other works by his no less famous nephew François Couperin, the brilliant Jean-Philippe Rameau, and the original Pancrace Royer, who in his "Advice to the Intention of Performers" stated: "As for the performance, I defer to the taste of those who will do me the honor of playing them." For good taste, we can trust Jean Rondeau, definitely one of the best harpsichordists of his time.
