Pierre Hantaï (harpsichord) & Eduardo Egüez (theorbo, guitar) These pieces were long thought to have been lost without trace,
and yet, unnoticed by anyone, a copy had been gathering dust on
the shelves of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, with only the
initials F.C. to identify.
Charles Bouvet has told the story of what induced him to take a closer look at this copy and why he was
convinced (on the strength of both, internal and external evidence) that this was indeed the famous
collection.
These are masterpieces, fully worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as the fourth book of pieces for
harpsichord, of 1730, and some of the most beautiful moments in all Couperin's works, performed by two of
the finest exponents of Baroque style: Philippe Pierlot and Pierre Hantaï. “Philippe Pierlot and his ensemble draw out the dark drama of this music in performances that fuse lyricis, with visceral intensity.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** |

his direction. In 1983 Hantaï scored his first major triumph through
taking first prize at the International Bach-Handel Competition of
