Description:

The Complete Works of Couperin by Shinichiro Nakano is finally complete! The emotional world of these unique and diverse works, with their Rococo flirtation, French sweetness, and enigmatic moods, is presented with depth and freshness through his fluid and mature expression and occasional glimpses of playfulness. The true value of François Couperin's achievement is reflected by Shinichiro Nakano, who has been leading the world of harpsichord music for many years. ＜Born in Kyoto in 1964, Nakano graduated from Toho Gakuen School of Music in 1986 with a degree in performance (majoring in ancient instruments).
