With Paul Guinery.
3: A Union of Styles. Italian music had a powerful influence on the works of Frangois Couperin , from his earliest trio sonatas published under an Italian pseudonym to his mature collection Les Gouts Rounds.
Paul Guinery introduces music exploiting this union of French and Italian styles, including the famous
Apotheosis of Corelli played by Christophe Rousset and William Christie (harpsichords), the sonata and suite La Francoise played by Musica Antiqua Koln , and a concert for two viols from Les Gouts Réunis with Wieland Kuijken and Kaori Uemura. Alongside them is Louis Couperin 's celebrated harpsichord Prelude imitating the style of Froberger, played by Davitt Moroney. Repeated next Wednesday 11.30pm See also 10.30pm
