The Sun King is brought generally more with loud pomp in connection than with an intimate chamber music. Who wants to know what kind of music Louis XIV. In the private and intimate setting surrounded who receives an audible impression of it on this CD. The brothers Barthold and Wieland Kuijken, assisted by Robert Kohnen, leave the compositions of Francois Couperin "Le Grand" bestow a truly regal interpretation.
