One of its greatest members, Louis Couperin, would celebrate his 400th birthday in 2026 - and thus offers a welcome occasion for Jean Rondeau to honor him with a very special gift: a ten-part complete edition of his harpsichord and organ works, which the imaginative and idiosyncratic early music expert has recorded in inspiring locations on historical instruments or their replicas. It is hard to imagine a more opulent approach to the musical world of Louis Couperin, one of the most extraordinary geniuses at the court of Louis XIV. "I think this project is one of the most important in my life as a harpsichordist," says Jean Rondeau, who had created a sonorous arc from Palestrina to Debussy from his last album Gradus ad Parnassum (2023) and is now returning to the core epoch of his repertoire. He said of Louis Couperin's relationship with the harpsichord and the organ: "He knew how to make these instruments resonate and vibrate like no one before him and probably no one after him." In addition to suites, individual movements and sacred compositions by the dedicatee, the box also contains works by Couperin's pupils and contemporary composers such as Johann Jakob Froberger and Jacques Champion de Chambonnières, who had a significant influence on Couperin. On a bonus DVD, Louis Couperin: The Complete Works also presents a documentary made at the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, in which Jean Rondeau provides an insight into the background to the project.
