This review is from: Francois Couperin: Concerts Royaux; Pieces A Deux Clavecins (Audio CD)

Such a rich and textured collection. It goes to the heart of "soulful" Baroque. In many ways Couperin is more satisfying than Bach or Handel.
The sound is more layered and offers an "economy" of statement muscially.
This is the classical disc you will listen to over and over.
