The first album made by Jordi Savall for the Astrée label! After Mr Marin Marais and Sainte Colombe, Jordi Savall presents another summit of music for viola da gamba in his Heritage collection. This 1975 disc confirmed Couperin as a master, if proof were needed, and of his affinitities with the masters of French music. This remastered high definition multi-channel SACD and very informative booklet complete this reissue of a must-have of the Savall oeuvre.
