Couperin, Frescobaldi, Purcell and JS Bach

John Butt leads an entertaining tour of important 17th- and early 18th-century European musical centres.

This delightful Sunday morning concert commences with a whimsical suite of dances by French composer Louis Couperin, followed by short stopovers in Italy and England, and arriving in Germany for a selection of Preludes and Fugues from Bach’s monumental Well-Tempered Clavier Book I.
