[LOUIS COUPERIN - THE COMPLETE WORKS] The Pavanne in F-sharp minor by Louis Couperin is one of the cornerstones of his oeuvre and a leitmotif of this project. Across the twelve hours of music that mark this complete cycle, the Pavanne returns again and again, like an insistent refrain. It is recorded four times—twice on harpsichord on two different instruments—and in two transcriptions, one for organ and one for viola da gamba consort. It tolls like a death knell, steeped in profound melancholy
