Louis Couperin Harpsichord Music by Colin Booth Colin Booth : Louis Couperin Harpsichord Music.
 Solo harpsichord music.

In the world of harpsichord music, Francois Couperin is probably the best-known composer. However, his uncle Louis Couperin wrote music which was far more intense and dramatic, including remarkable free preludes and stirring chaconnes.

Colin Booth's latest album offers a varied recital of pieces by Louis Couperin, played on a wonderful original French harpsichord of 1661 - coincidentally the year of Louis Couperin's death.
