This week the BBC features our new Francois Couperin recording as 'CD of the week'. This is welcome recognition of the delight the recording will give to many who had never thought of themselves as afficionados of French baroque music. Couperin's style is extremely accessible, and genial. It will make excellent Christmas listening when you have tired of carols. The CD also contains works never before recorded, and which are now performable through the reconstructions made by Edward Higginbottom, an expert in the field of French baroque music. There are additional pluses to this release: the focus in the digipack on illustrations of College art treasures, and the musical focus on the young soloists of the choir, who sing this music with no less precision and style than seasoned professionals.
