Kenneth Gilbert's complete recording of François Couperin's Pièces de clavecin in 1970 was much more than a pioneering venture; he offered interpretations as virtuosic as they were elegant - and on a historical harpsichord. This first volume, devoted to the first three Ordres of the Premier Livre, is a thrilling step back in time with this great artist, who was to exert considerable influence on an entire generation of harpsichordists that followed.
