2.0 out of 5 stars Ambitious, yet ill conceived., Dec 2 2003
By F. Gonzalez "xxxfranciscoxxx" (Goleta, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a rarely attempted feat.
But Angela Hewitt did not properly calculate an important little detail-The harpsichord music of Francois Couperin was meant for just that: the harpsichord. It is mousic conceived for a non-dynamic instrument with its own unqie sound and technique. On the piano, it loses its compass, clarity, and elegance.
To make up for the dryness of her recording, technicians added a ridiculous amount of reverb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Lovely, Nov 18 2003
By rilir (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This disc is a true delight: lively, lovely and gracious; there is no disturbence in this music & Hewitt continues to provide us with much needed "balm for the soul" in these raucous and perilous times. I look forward to the next two discs, and hope that she also will issue a recording of Louis Couperin's equally beautiful "unmeasured preludes," which deserve rediscovering as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Tombeau for Couperin., May 14 2003
By B. Gone - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
In the early sixties his close friend the harpsichordist Sylvia Kindt made several unsuccessful attempts to get her friend Glenn Gould to record some of Couperin's works. While some other pianist have tried since, it was only from the very capable hands of Constantin Lifschitz that I heard piano versions that made one understand why Ravel wrote his Tombeau de Couperin.

In a first of a planned series of three cds Angela Hewitt presents us here with the sixieme, dix-huitieme and huitieme of Couperin's orders. Based on her superb Bach, Messiaen and Ravel, I had high expectations of this cd, yet still was bowled over by the final results here.

Helped by a very clear and spacious recording Hewitt takes Couperin to a level, that is only matched by the guitarist John Williams' Baroque Album. Both in the endless array of colors and in the most subtle and fluent of rubatos Hewitt takes the "harpsichord straight jacket" off these pieces and revives this composer in a way that reminds one of Gould's Gibbons and Byrd and Sviatoslav Richter's Handel recordings.

Never before have I heard anyone clear the hurdles of Couperin's most over-embellished passages with such ease and musicality and have them make such sense. A comparison with Lifschitz who also recorded the huitieme ordre just shows how extraordinary this recording is. Hewitt has all the drama and musicality yet "keeps everything together" and allows these great works to breathe with relaxed musicality.

In all a superior recording; to me Angela Hewitt's best so far. I can't wait to hear the next two issues.
