Louis Couperin, the elder brother of François Couperin's father, died at the age of 35, so he was not so well known, but the music has a lot of character and charm, especially when you hear it in an elaborate performance like the one Bergella gave this time. The subtlety of the magnified details, the rising atmosphere, and the magnitude of the ups and downs are indescribable. Since Louis Couperin's works were left individually, they were combined and arranged in different ways when they were performed, and Gustafson's work numbers are sometimes simply by piece number. In Bergella's case, the arrangement of each piece is bracketed by tonality, which emphasizes a certain sense of sustained atmosphere, and then shows the changes from piece to piece, making the cohesiveness of the music a point not to be overlooked. The recording is also very excellent. About the ComposerLouis Coupland [1626-1661] studied under Jacques Chambonnière, a well-known composer and founder of the French harpsichord school.Louis Couperin was employed at the court of Louis XIV [1638-1715] and became organist of the church of Saint-Gervais in 1653 and later of the royal chapel.
