Jean Rondeau

Jean Rondeau

Jean Rondeau begins his pilgrimage through the oeuvre of Louis Couperin. In this first recital, he unravels five suites that highlight Couperin’s versatility: from the melancholic Chaconne la complaignante to the vibrant Branle de Basque. The highlight: Tombeau de Blancrocher, a poignant tribute to the lutenist and friend of Couperin who died far too young.

This concert is also available as part of a passe-partout.
