Music reviews of Couperin, F.: Suites For Harpsichord Nos. 6, 8 & 11

Music Review: Alan Cuckston (for once) is astonishing
Rating: 5 Stars

Alan Cuckston is not very well known. It is obvious he can not be compared to the most famous Couperin-players, such has Blandine Verlet, Scott Ross or William Christie, but he, here, swiftly executes each and every piece in a interesting way.

And if you are a harpsichordist (or for that matter even a pianist), I strongly suggest you to obtain the sheet music, because you will certainly not resist the urge to play it yourself.

Cuckston is here at his best -- you certainly won't find any other acceptable CDs from him. It's a fair introduction to Couperins music though I strongly suggest getting the integral of Blandine Verlet (my favorite), Christophe Rousset, or even Scott Ross if you've got the budget.
