COUPERIN: L'ALCHIMISTE VOL. 2

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 SaintGervais 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.
