Скачать или смотреть François Couperin. Les barricades mistérieuses. Jochewed Schwarz & Emer Buckley

François Couperin published two collections of chamber music -- the Concerts Royaux in 1722 and Les Nations in 1726 -- in what today would be called open scoring, so that they could be performed by whatever instruments were to hand. But he confessed in the preface to a later publication that he himself preferred to perform them on two harpsichords, although that suggestion had to wait for this series of two CDs (No. 2 is in preparation) to be taken up in a recording. The CD from which this track is taken presents Les Nations and movements from the Concerts Royaux with a number of his Pièces de clavecin in rarely heard realisations for two harpsichords, revealing Les Barricades mystérieuses to be even lovelier in this version.
