Couperin, Rameau and the French Harpsichordists
Posted: Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:29 am
I hope there is no thread on these composers so far.
The specific piece I am looking for is Rameau's Les Sauvages. If anyone could post this it would be greatly appreciated.
I find pieces like the ones below totally captivating and beautiful. Obviously some pianists play this music since there are some Youtube performnces, but I cannot remmeber hearing a single piece by either of these composers in a live recital.
Any thoughts why this is the case?
