Our Take

Benjamin Alard's latest album, The Couperin Family, is a delightful romp through the works of one of classical music's most renowned dynasties. If you're looking for a soundtrack to accompany your afternoon tea or lively social gathering, look no further.

From the grandiose compositions of Louis Couperin to the charming pieces of Francois Couperin, Alard effortlessly brings each piece to life on his harpsichord. His nimble fingers dance across the keys, showcasing both technical prowess and emotional depth.

Tracks like "Les Sylvains" and "Le Rossignol en Amour" transport the listener to a world of elegance and refinement, while "L'Atalante" and "Les Sentimens Que la Musique Execute" offer a glimpse into the composers' more playful and experimental sides.

Alard's interpretation of these timeless pieces is both reverent and refreshingly modern. He manages to honour the traditions of the Couperin Family while infusing his own unique flair and personality into each performance.

Whether you're a seasoned classical music connoisseur or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, The Couperin Family is a must-have addition to your collection. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let Benjamin Alard's harpsichord serenade you into a state of blissful relaxation.
