Portrait d'artiste : Vincent Dumestre, Una Musica

[wanderer9000]

Thanks a lot for uploading. Could someone tell me what is this beautiful and haunting piece we can hear in this excerpt?

@wanderer9000 Les Sylvains de Mr. Couperin by Robert de Visee. You can actually listen to Hopkinson Smith's interpretation on my channel.

@sh1k4n Thanks for your answer, sir! Nice to hear the whole piece by Hopkinson Smith, though I prefer Dumestre's much more dreamy and introspective interpretation of this very part. Is this piece a tribute from De Visée to Couperin or just a transcription of one of his harpsichord works for theorbo?
