ALESSANDRINI, RINALDO - Louis Couperin (Suites) (Sealed) (CD)

At the harpsichord, Rinaldo Alessandrini creates several ‘suites de danse’ from the magnificent output of Louis Couperin. “Louis Couperin’s inspiration is distinguished by its innovative and exploratory content: far from solutions of convenience, his passion is transformed into new and surprising harmonic and rhythmic solutions. His counterpoint becomes the vector of a complexity generally unknown in the keyboard music of his time. The combination of such a tumultuous talent with the grace and nobility of the musical language of seventeenth Century France generates a result that opens out onto unpredictable semantic and expressive horizons.” - Rinaldo Alessandrini
