Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Couperin is one of the great masters of the Baroque era. As his career progressed, his production of these many little character pieces improved in quality, so that while there is nothing wrong with the pieces in this first of his four books, they aren't as consistently compelling as the later collections. If you want to know if you love Couperin, try Book 4 and work your way back. These slightly elderly recordings, offered at reduced price, feature performances with plenty of character, played on a good modern harpsichord. I haven't heard the competition, Rousset also on Harmonia Mundi, but Kenneth Gilbert's series is excellent. --Leslie Gerber
