Pieces de violes
Pieces de violes de La Bellemont (Challenge Classics) a fost lansat pe 28.08.2026.
La Bellemont lansează un nou album dedicat lucrărilor lui Francois Couperin, intitulat ‘Pieces de violes’. Albumul explorează emoțiile subtile și armoniile bogate ale barocului francez, fiind o interpretare profundă a muzicii de violă da gamba.
Francois Couperin’s Pieces de violes comes alive in this deeply expressive new recording by La Bellemont, revealing the viola da gamba at the height of its emotional and rhetorical power.
Written in 1728, these works are among Couperin’s final publications and blend the refinement of the French Baroque with striking intimacy, elegance, and imagination. Through two contrasting suites – from the tender melancholy of the E minor Prelude and Sarabande to the radiant brilliance of the A major suite – the album explores a world of subtle emotion, poetic silence, and richly colored harmony.
Performed with exceptional sensitivity by La Bellemont, this recording highlights the ensemble’s celebrated warmth, precision, and expressive depth. The musicians illuminate Couperin’s unique ability to move beyond virtuosity in search of something more profound and human, – music that, in Couperin’s own words, ‘touches rather than surprises.’
With its refined interplay of viola da gamba, theorbo, baroque guitar and harpsichord, the album offers an immersive journey into one of the most beautiful and sophisticated sound worlds of the French Baroque.
