About

For the second volume in his Couperin series, keyboard virtuoso Bertrand Cuiller paints a portrait of a young Couperin who, at the age of only seventeen, was appointed organist of Saint-Gervais in Paris - a prestigious position to attain at any age. It was also a position that soon translated into his appointment as organist of the king and harpsichord master of the royal children. Couperin's compositions from this period are marked by a surprising maturity of writing. Bertrand Cuiller's eloquent performances reveal all the diversity and color present in these works.

Reviews

Jan/Feb 2021

Bertrand Cuiller’s moderate tempos allow for Couperin’s often twisty ornamentation to be clear and unambiguous. As a set in the sequence, these are worthy demonstrations of the composer’s genius at writing for the keyboard. I find them convincing and persuasive, and look forward to the next volumes in the set.
