Couperin's four suites, each comprising a trio-sonata followed by a set of dance pieces, are among the greatest compositions of baroque chamber music. ' We do not write as we play,' said Couperin, and his music demands long study and practice to realise in performance the full eloquence and grandeur of his complex style. Basil Lam
