Description:

Rousset & Les Talents Lilique New Disc of F. Coupland's Masterpiece Lully Praise, Corelli PraiseWorld premiere recording of the cantata "Ariane consoled by Bacchus" discovered by Rousset! Christophe Rousset and Les Talents Lilique present the world premiere recording of F. Couperin's masterpiece Lully's Praise and Corelli's Praise. Moreover, this is a new recording of the world premiere of F. Coupland's newly discovered cantatas. The cantata "Ariane consoled by Bacchus" was discovered by Rousset while preparing his dissertation on F. Coupland, and was known to researchers as a work that appeared in F. Coupland's list of works (published in 1716) but for which no score had survived (the score was never published, and at the time the score was only available on (The score was never published, and those who needed it at the time had to obtain a copy on demand.)Rousset concluded that this score is the work of Coupland for two reasons: (1) it was in the collection of Louis Alexandre (Duke of Toulouse/child of Louis XIV and the Marquise de Montespan) (F. Coupland was his music teacher), and (2) in the bass figures, Coupland 2 instead of 9, and that it shares various harmonic features found in a series of other works. Other similarities in subject matter with the pieces in the clavesan cycle, among other things, led him to believe that the work belonged to F. Coupland. In his liner notes, Rousset says, "It is easy to dream that a long-slept piece is a masterpiece, but this work was never published because Couperin himself decided that publishing it would not be profitable (and expensive). The appearance of these valuable recordings is to be welcomed.In "La Correlli", Correlli is led to Mount Parnassus, where the god of music resides, and in "Lully", Lully follows Correlli to Mount Parnassus, where he meets and performs with Correlli. Lully follows Corelli to Mount Parnassus, where he meets Corelli and performs with him. In France, there was a tradition of creating portrait music in the genre of "Tombou," but Couperin's "Lully's Praise" and "Corelli's Praise" do not strictly follow the style of their respective composers, and their scale and other characteristics make them special works in the history of music that shine out. The scale of these works makes them stand out as unique works in the history of music. Rousset's somewhat colorful harpsichord quietly holds together the elite ensemble of Les Tarrands Liliques.
