Couperin (Armand-Louis, Francois, Luois) - Pieces de clavecin - Gustav Leonhardt

Posted By: generale79

Date: Sept. 24, 2011

Leonhardt's performances of Louis Couperin's works have long been particularly admired, and here he does not disappoint. He seems to relish the expressive opportunities afforded by the Prelude and in the lyrical Allemande conveys a precious element of nostalgia hidden within the dance. The first Courante conjures up vivid images of dancers, so physical are his perfectly timed lifts, reminding us that when Louis Couperin was composing, dancing was still very much a live tradition, practised by all courtiers, not just the professionals at the Opera. From the first statement of the concluding Chaconne (as admirable for its craftsmanship and inspiration as Couperin's unmeasured Prelude) the listener is drawn willingly into its inexorable ebb and flow.

The complete preludes from François Couperin's L'art de toucher — a rarity indeed — present a full array of the gestures associated with the introduction to a suite. Here, as in No. 3, the Prelude itself almost dances; there, as in No. 8, Couperin alludes to the repeating patterns of a passecaille or a chaconne, elsewhere, as in Nos. 1 and 7, he writes out what his uncle would have left halfnotated, expecting the player to convey it — as Leonhardt does so brilliantly — in an improvisatory style. The minor - key preludes range in their emotional intensity (No. 1 is pensive, No. 2 is truly poignant), while those in major keys project the external world (there is, for example, an almost rustic effect created by the interior pedal notes in No. 5).

Though François Couperin's Ordre 15 has been recorded before, this is a performance to treasure for the sublime calm of Le Dodo, the delightfully effervescent articulation of L'evaporee and the elegance of La Princesse de Chabeiul. Leonhardt concludes this Couperin family album with three richly textured pieces by Armand - Louis, contrasting cheerful forthrightness in L'intrepide, with its analogue the rondeau that follows — and concluding with the cheeky Arlequine. All in all, quite a revelation, reaffirming Leonhardt's place at the heart of the early - music performance movement.
