Thibaut Roussel, theorbo and baroque guitar
Sébastien Daucé, harpsichord
FRANÇOIS COUPERIN (1668-1733)
SECRETS DE ROY
Pièces de Violes SUITE EN MI · SUITE EN LA
Recorded from 24 to 27 June 2019 at the Château de Versailles
If the cherished corpus of Pièces de Violes by François Couperin “the Great”, the celebrated organist of the Chapelle Royale de Versailles, constitutes a major contribution to the viol repertoire in France at the beginning of the 18th century, this unique volume published in Paris in 1728 is also shrouded in mystery for any musician who might wish to immerse himself in these sumptuous pieces. Might they have been composed for an exceptional performer, Marin Marais or Antoine Forqueray, Couperin’s colleagues at the Court of Louis XIV? Arranged in two suites of splendid pieces, blending Italian and French styles, they represent all the spirit and finesse of the music of the King’s Chamber at its apogee. Accompanied by the finest French musicians, Mathilde Vialle divinely plays her viol, in turn both devilish and sweet-toned, intense and acute, virtuoso and sensitive, and through such outstanding portraits of the human soul, brings the spirit of Versailles to life by exalting it…
Critically acclaimed, this record has been awarded a CHOC by Classica.
