Couperin: Pièces De Violes – La Bellemont

La Bellemont presents a new interpretation of François Couperin’s Pièces de violes (1728), one of the least-recorded collections of music for viola da gamba despite being a pinnacle of its repertoire. The group’s performance captures the perfect balance between French elegance and Italian bravura, featuring a renewed expressiveness and emotional power combined with a command of musical rhetoric that sets it apart from traditional recordings. With this CD, La Bellemont concludes a recording trilogy that began with La voix de la viole (5 diapasons) and Plaisir Sacré (ICMA Award nominee)
