Francois Couperin once confessed that he preferred to perform his collection of chamber music on two harpsichords however this series is the only one in existance that does just that. Volume one of the harpsichord series received fantastic reviews - "The playing by harpsichordists Jochewed Schwarz and Emer Buckley is finely matched. Both blend well with each other and provide a strong, virile performance that brings the nuances and ornamets of Couperin's music to life. One can see through their interplay why the composer considered this his ideal performance medium..".
