Francois Couperin: Pieces de Violes / Jordi Savall
It is said that one of the goals of a viol player is to be able to play Couperin and Forqueray (and also said Marin Marais wants not so technical). Be that as it may, Couperin’s two suites are indeed gems of work. I still remember how impressed I was when I first heard this record, by Savall and Koopman. I really shiver when I heard the beginning of the Allemande in the first suite (that’s how moved I was). The final movement of the second suite reminds me of Forqueray’s “Jupiter”. #baroque #couperin #片山俊幸
