The Sun King's Paradise
Linn CKD 100
A collection of French baroque chamber music, featuring works by Couperin,
Marais, Rebel and Le Moine.
It's hard to imagine more naturally expressive and pliable performances of
this repertoire than appear on this recording. Truly stunning ensemble playing,
and a genuine flair for the spirit of the dance make this a highly covetable
disc.
(The Observer, Classical CD of the Week)
. . the infectious brilliance of its music-making in this recording of music
from Louis XIV's court is such that you would have to have cold tea running
in your veins to fail to be moved by it.
(Gramophone)
