This is my first time hearing Francois Couperin. I am happy I have stumbled across his music. The internet is a wonderful tool to find music!

@AndrewJamesLiles It's incredible, I know. Love him. He's my favourite artist at the moment. Him and Rameau. But Couperin... He's in a devine class of his own.

@AndrewJamesLiles the same situation in my case.I made my playlist with Telemann,Bach,Couperin these days and i enjoy now to work on the internet,even if don't know anything about classical music and periods in it.

Dans les années 1700,une française qui a été capturé par le corsaire ensuite offert au sultan turque pour son harem.Mais elle était tellement belle qu'elle est devenue sa femme donc la sultane,elle a donné naissance au futur sultan turque Mahmut II

Beautiful paintings,also.

nice music, but the level on which Kraemer stands is much higher in termes of sound than the gambists...
