Couperin: Intégrale des Livres de pièces de clavecin - Baumont

Francois Couperin
Intégrale des Livres de pièces de clavecin 1-4 Ordres 1-27
Olivier Baumont
Warner Classics 2564 64176-2

A QUALITY JOB BY BAUMONT

Olivier Baumont's 1991/1994 recording of Couperin's complete harpsichord works are in many way's exemplary.He pretty much lets the music speak for itself and together with Michael Borgstede's complete recording on Brilliant Classics represent the best available versions of this towering music. (I prefer both over Rousset's recording)
Baumont's account of livre 1 is the best i have ever heard.
