An original and prestigious concept: the harpsichord music by the 4 prominent members of the Couperin Dynasty!

The Couperin Dynasty, a renowned family of French composers, spanned several generations and played a pivotal role in the development of Baroque music during the 17th and 18th centuries. This musical lineage, centered around the Parisian court, produced a remarkable array of composers, the most prominent of whom were Louis Couperin (1626-1661), his nephew François Couperin „Le Grand“ (1686-1733), his second-degree nephew Armand-Louis Couperin (1727-1789) and Gervais-François Couperin (1759-1826), Armand-Louis’ son.

The Couperin Dynasty represents French Baroque music at its best, their keyboard works are the very epitome of French refinement, delicacy, elegance and expression.

Played by Michael Borgstede (Musicweb CD OF THE MONTH), Yago Mahúgo, Massimo Berghella and Simone Pierini.
