: : Is Couperin's port to remain so forlorn and deserted?

: : He was a great composer. His harpsichord music ranks with the best, as do his orchestral compositions.

: : One of my favorite pieces of his is "Les Bergeries"(The sheep-Pens). There is an arrangement by Robert De Visee for theorbo, that totally glides!

: Reusner

I don't know much Couperin by I'm absolutely n away by "Les Barricades Mysterieuses" which a harpsichordist friend played for me. It's especially wonderful when register changes are used!
