LES TALENS LYRIQUES 

CHRISTOPHE ROUSSET

Christophe Rousset beckons us on an enchanting journey to the world of François Couperin, where darkness and light dwell in equal measure.

Shadows characterizes the gravity of his Pièces de viole, the seriousness of some of his pieces for harpsichord, and especially his Leçons de ténèbres for Holy Week. Light pervades the innocence of some of his other harpsichord pieces, his brilliant Concerts royaux, or the cheerful banter of his Airs sérieux.

Founded twenty-five years ago, Les Talens Lyriques is dedicated to the great masterpieces of the history of music, illuminating rare or unpublished works and restoring the missing links of Western European musical heritage.
