The Couperin family was one of the most talented and influential musical dynasties during the Golden Age of French music. Harpsichordist Davitt Moroney talks to George Pratt about the rise of Louis and Francois Couperin from their provincial origins to the favoured circle of Louis XIV, and he gives the first broadcast of works by their more obscure relation Marc Roger Normand. Producer Kate Bolton
