Sarah Lavaud réunit les pièces maîtresses pour piano de Janácek, assorties de pages tardives emblématiques de son style mûr. Ce disque vient ainsi enrichir notre connaissance d’un pan de son œuvre qui mériterait d’être plus souvent entendu. Il nous fait découvrir une musique hautement contrastée, d’une rare intensité expressive, et dont l’étrangeté nous émeut parce qu’elle révèle celle de notre intimité même.

His studies (harpsichord) with Huguette Dreyfus at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, then with Bob van Asperen at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (winning the coveted First Prize in the Seventh Bruges International Harpsichord Competition at the age of twenty-two), followed by the creation of his own ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, in 1991, have enabled Christophe Rousset to obtain a perfect grasp of the richness and diversity of the Baroque, Classical and pre-Romantic repertoires.

Couperin: Ariane consolée par Bacchus, Apothéoses de Lully & de Corelli: The genius of François Couperin (1668-1733) whispers precious secrets in Christophe Rousset's ear, which he reveals to us in this new recording.

Couperin is too easily seen as the tender, graceful and somewhat melancholy composer, whose soft-toned palette was the same as that which served the brush of Watteau. There was another Couperin who was a master of humour and whose claws were sharp. And yet another who was a musician involved in the aesthetic battles of this time and in the avant-garde.
