Rameau & Couperin “en concerts”

Four musicians from the Ensemble Masques plunge into the heart of the French Baroque in a programme featuring two of its unrivalled composers, François Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau. Masques presents two of Couperin’s famous Concerts Royaux, innovative works with a lively, elegant and witty atmosphere. Just 15 years later, the opera composer Jean-Philippe Rameau, in his only chamber music publication, brought the harpsichord to the forefront in his Pièces de Clavecin en Concert, with melodic accompaniment provided by the flute, violin and viola da gamba.
