About
At the harpsichord, Rinaldo Alessandrini creates several ‘suites de danse’ from the magnificent output of Louis Couperin.
“Louis Couperin’s inspiration is distinguished by its innovative and exploratory content: far from solutions of convenience, his passion is transformed into new and surprising harmonic and rhythmic solutions. His counterpoint becomes the vector of a complexity generally unknown in the keyboard music of his time. The combination of such a tumultuous talent with the grace and nobility of the musical language of seventeenth Century France generates a result that opens out onto unpredictable semantic and expressive horizons.” - Rinaldo Alessandrini
