Music reviews of Fran?ois Couperin: Les Concerts Royaux
Music Review: Colorful Couperin
Rating: 5 Stars
Les Concerts Royaux is magnificent. It is easy to imagine the old king Louis XIV sitting in his salon on a Sunday afternoon listening to these concerts and dreaming of youth and bucolic nature. These are varied and interesting works, filled with colorful and evocative melodies. I love french music and this disc does not dissapoint. another work by Couperin you may wish to try are 'Les Lecons de Tenebrae'. The royal concerts are a must have for fans of french music. All the fine hallmarks of the noble baroque style of the music of the Sun King and his court are present here.
Description of Fran?ois Couperin: Les Concerts Royaux
Couperin composed these delectable works in 1714 and 1715 for the Louis XIV's Sunday chamber music concerts. When they were published in 1722, he specified the instruments employed in those concerts without indicating how they're used in each of the 25 movements in these four suites. Jordi Savall has taken his cue from Couperin's open-ended particulars to allot lead voices and parts to fit each movement's character, with marvelous results. The music ranges stylistically from lugubrious Preludes to court dances and folk-inspired tunes. Savall and his outstanding players make this graceful music irresistible, finding in it not only courtly elegance but also unexpected expressiveness, as in the melancholy opening Preludes and elsewhere. Everyone will have their own favorite tracks (movements) to return to as "encores" after the disc ends, but be warned: it's hard not to continue on to the next track, and then the next, till you've played the disc through again. This is one of those "don't-miss-this-one" discs. Enjoy! --Dan DavisGeneral CDs
