This year’s harpsichord recital by Yat-Soon continues the strand of marking Couperin’s music in the 350th. year since his birth:

‘Couperin and the French Grand Siècle’
Music by François Couperin and his distinguished predecessors in the classical line of great French harpsichord composers who together make up one of the most magisterial traditions of keyboard music, suffused with immense grandeur, delicate tenderness and profound melancholy. I am delighted to return to this elegant and intimate 18th century venue by the banks of the River Thames.

This volume was the first time the general public were given access to the works of Campion, Dowland and others. Also it presented many folk songs in written form for the first time, just as they started to be forgotten. Come and hear the original versions of “A-Hunting We Will Go”, “Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be”, “Oh the Oak and the Ash” and many others!
