Couperin. Apotheoses. Gli Incogniti/beyer
Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: HMC 902193 Format: CD Gli incogniti, Amandine BeyerComposed by: Couperin, F.: Apothéoses The ensemble Gli incogniti, led by Amandine Beyer, makes their harmonia mundi début with this album of chamber music by François Couperin. When he published his twin Apothéoses in memory of two great masters of music in 1724-25, Couperin was asserting his desire to promote a meeting of the French and Italian styles – from a very Gallic point of view, naturally. But, far from blindly imitating his idols, Couperin takes inspiration from these styles and arrives at a blend that takes the best from both. Price: $20.98 |
