"A newly discovered, charming cantata for baritone and continuo is lovingly rendered alongside stylish chamber works in praise of Lully and Corelli. Couperin pays homage to Italian music in his own Gallic way".

"Zur Referenzeinspielung des Ricercar Consort (2010) bietet Christophe Rousset nun eine attraktive Alternative, die hinsichtlich der von Couperin nur angedeuteten Instrumentierung noch mehr Farbe und hinsichtlich der Phrasierung noch mehr Eleganz ins Spiel bringt".

"Editor's choice. These works have been recorded many times, but rarely so well. Rousset's vision for his ensemble of oboes, flutes, violins and viol is sublime, as too are his harpsichord realisations. This is a landmark recording to treasure".
