About

· Armand-Louis Couperin was a notable French composer, organist, and harpsichordist of the late Baroque and early Classical period. He was a member of the Couperin family of musicians, of which the most famous were his great uncle Louis and his cousin François. He was born in Paris and was raised by his father, Nicolas, also a composer and the successor to François "Le Grand" as organist at Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais Church in 1748, a post Armand-Louis inherited after his father’s death. Subsequent posts included the Notre Dame (from 1755), the Sainte Chapelle (from 1760), L’église Sainte-Marguerite, and the royal chapel (from 1770).

· Armand-Louis Couperin was one of the last great harpsichord composers of France, and he remained attached stylistically to la grande tradition française. His works show a bold harmonic language, a remarkable degree of improvisational impulse and a tendency to explore new ways of using the instrument.

· Harpsichordist Yago Mahúgo is winner of several prestigious Competitions, notably the Bruges Early Music Competition. His previous recordings on Brilliant Classics of works by Royer, Clérembault and Marchand received several 5 star reviews in international music magazines, and a “CD of the Month” in the Spanish magazine Scherzo.
