How nostalgic! At the age of 19 in 1966, I wanted a copy of Landowska's famous Treasury - store didn't have one and convinced me to buy Aime van der Wielle playing Couperin, of whom I'd never heard, on Nonesuch. The first piece on the disc was the one you have played here, and it has stayed in my mind ever since! I've heard no other harpsichordist playing it, either! Ms van der Wielle, for ever changing registration, was powerful; yours, warm and intimate. Great.

c'est ma joie!
