Jean Rondeau & Thomas Dunford record "Les Baricades Mïstérieuses" by François Couperin

"We don’t know how to play alone. This is the paradox of the game of music: a cross between extremely precise rules for how to play - how to read this cryptic language we spend our life deciphering, like hieroglyphs - and the magic to which it leads us - its at once organic and dreamlike dimension." Discover Barricades: w.lnk.to/brcsLY
Among the composers present in the program is François Couperin, whose "Les Baricades Mïstérieuses" opens the album. Written for harpsichord in 1717, the piece is composed in rondeau form, emblematic of the selections that follow by composers Robert De Visée, Michel Lambert, Marin Marais, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Jean-Henry D’Anglebert, Antoine Forqueray, and Jean-Philippe Rameau.
Also featuring mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre, baritone Marc Mauillon, and Myriam Rignol on viola da gamba.

I absolutely Iove this piece! First heard it on guitar a few decades ago. I've heard many versions if it since. For me, this is hands fown the ultimate version. The harpsichord,l begins slowly, then slowly, quietly the theorbo comes in, both rise in volume. Jean decouples the long strings and the theorbo shines through. Finally they both relax to the end. Brilliant. Jean is a superb harpsichordist, but he's also a fabulous arranger.

This must be the supreme example of how two musicians can be in sync with each other. The tempo varies wildly, as it should when exploring all the harmonies, yet every single note is absolutely in time with each other. It's exquisite. Music teachers should show this to their pupils when they are starting to learn how to play in duets or chamber music or even just in an orchestra. It's all about listening.

Now I agree with the people who believe that with this piece, Couperin created a form of musical illusion, the equivalent of a musical fractal, three centuries before fractal mathematics was actually discovered.
