Rinaldo Alessandrini - Suites
At the harpsichord, Rinaldo Alessandrini creates several "suites de danse" from the magnificent output of Louis Couperin. "Louis Couperin’s inspiration is distinguished by its innovative and exploratory content: far from solutions of convenience, his passion is transformed into new and surprising harmonic and rhythmic solutions. His counterpoint becomes the vector of a complexity generally unknown in the keyboard music of his time. The combination of such a tumultuous talent with the grace and nobility of the musical language of seventeenth-century France generates a result that opens out onto unpredictable semantic and expressive horizons." -- Rinaldo Alessandrini “played with great dignity and expressive freedom … a beautifully realised exploration of Couperin’s keyboard style from a musician who writes about the music and the performance style as eloquently as he plays it” - Andrew McGregor, BBC Radio 3 Record Review "The dark colours and resonant harpsichord sound are alluring, echoing Saint-Évremond’s contemporary treatise: “Passion must be fully displayed, but never exaggerated.”” - Nicholas Kenyon, The Guardian ???? “Alessandrini is a thrilling guide through Couperin’s twisting, piquant harmonies, shar rhythms and sighing phrases” - Oliver Condy, BBC Music Magazine (November 2019 Issue)
