Description:

The Great Coupland's Uncle Louis Coupland Edition Volume 4! Bob van Asperen, the authoritative harpsichordist of Dutch ancient music. The fourth volume of the works of Louis Coupland, uncle of the great Coupland, and the complete "Complete Cembalo Works"! Using the original harpsichord made by Johannes Lukkers 1640! Bob van Asperen, Leonhardt's highbrother, is the world's leading harpsichordist in the Netherlands today. This is the fourth volume of the "Louis Coupland Editions," an important recording project that Asperen has been working on in parallel with the "J.S. Bach Keyboard Works" and "Froberger Editions," and is the first new volume to be released in almost seven years! This is a collection of harpsichord works by Louis Coupland (c.1626-1661), the second most important member of the Coupland family, after François Coupland, the "Grand Coupland" and François' uncle. A specialist in Froberger's music, Asperlén's interpretation of Louis Couperin's works, which were greatly influenced by his friendship with Johann Jakob Froberger, shines through.In this work, the original harpsichord, a 1640 Johannes Lukkers instrument associated with the Wallen Castle in Westphalia, Germany, will be used to elucidate Louis Coupland's music with unparalleled skill. Although the complete collection of Louis Coupland's harpsichord works is now complete, there are plans for a fifth volume of "Louis Coupland Editions," a collection of organ works, and we can expect more and more of Asperlén's activities in the future.
