About

"Following on the success of their widely acclaimed Music & Arts release J.S. Bach: Sonatas for Flute and Harpsichord, Stephen Schultz (Baroque flute) and Jory Vinikour (harpsichord) are joined by Alexa Haynes-Pilon (viola da gamba), and Mindy Rosenfeld (Baroque flute) in superlative performances of François Couperin’s four Concerts Royaux; works which stand among the pinnacles of the Golden Age that was French music during the reign of Louis XIV. This state-ofthe- art recording was produced and engineered at Skywalker Sound by two-time Grammy Award winner Jack Vad (2012, 2021)."

Awards and reviews

Nov/Dec 2021

This is an extremely pleasant and musically excellent disc. The ensemble works well together, and the instruments are all attuned to each other, even with the often complex ornamentation. This is one set of chamber works that evokes perfectly the era of Louis XIV and his own elegant court.
