James Johnstone (organ)About
François Couperin was the most illustrious member of a musical dynasty second only to that of the Bach family. His pieces reveal a delicate interplay between reality and theatrical illusion, an escape into an often elegiac dream world of poetic fantasy displayed in simple dance movements, portraits, and theatrical miniatures.
Performers are confronted by some of their greatest challenges: not only must they observe the composer’s instructions to the letter, but also convey that elusive and indefinable ‘bon goût’ through an understanding of and rapport with the enigmas, abstractions and metaphors that are redolent of expressive subtlety.
The CD booklet contains an informative essay by the French Baroque specialist, Nicholas Anderson, in both English and French, as well colour photos of the principal instruments used.
