François Couperin: Tic toc choc

Alexandre Tharaud

Solo Piano - Released March 1, 2007 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
Couperin's Pièces de Clavecin are remarkably diverse and durable enough to retain their charms, and even reveal new ones in incarnations other than their original format. French pianist Alexandre Tharaud capitalizes on their versatility by transferring an assortment of them to the piano. (He had previously done the same for a recital of Rameau's Nouvelles de Suites de Pièces de Clavecin.) After one adjusts to the initial shock of hearing this repertoire played on a modern instrument, the pieces Tharaud selected sound wonderful on the piano. Many of the short works benefit from the expanded dynamic range available on a modern piano, such as the wonderfully boisterous Les Baricades Mistérieuses, Les Tricoteuses, and Bruit de Guerre (which is accompanied by Pablo Pico playing the tambour), and Tharaud exploits those expressive possibilities. Tharaud is judicious in his use of the pedal, so the pieces retain their intended clarity. He includes one work not by Couperin, La Pothouïn by Jacques Duphly, born a generation after Couperin, an elegant and expressive character piece. The collection makes a delightful introduction to Couperin's keyboard works, and for those who are already fans, offers fresh insights into familiar pieces. © TiVo

François Couperin: Complete Sonatas

Les Dominos

Classical - Released November 6, 2012 | Ricercar

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason - 4F de Télérama - Coup de coeur de l'Académie Charles Cros - 4 étoiles Classica
The sonata is one of the most common of all musical genres, but in France toward the end of the 17th century, with Italian styles still in official disfavor, it was barely even possible to write one. Composers were fascinated, however, by the new breezes blowing from Italy, and François Couperin began to write "sonades" even though he never published them. He later claimed to have written the first French sonatas. The seven works here are odd fusions of French and Italian styles, and they are beautifully animated by the French historical-instrument group Les Dominos and its leader, violinist Florence Malgoire. Three works, La Steinquerque (track 3), L'Astrée (track 5), and La Visionnaire (track 7), approximate the texture of the Italian trio sonata, with paired instruments over a continuo, but the rest have two pairs of solo instruments and mix the concertante or contrast principle with other kinds of ensemble writing. The movement structure is purely French, with sequences of very short movements that carry some kind of programmatic content. These were, for their time and place, rather experimental works, but their genius is that they have a relaxed ebb and flow in spite of that; they are loose in structure and have a sense of discovery of fresh textures. Malgoire and Les Dominos get the loose-limbed spirit of the music, offering textures in which the bass viol of Guido Balestracci is almost an equal partner with the violins and/or flutes above. The ensemble playing of this new group is exceptional, and one awaits with interest any move they might make toward repertoire beyond the French 17th century.© TiVo
