Record Tracklist

  1. Chaconne en rondeau, la Besson -:-- / 2:27
  2. Caprice, le Cury -:-- / 0:44

Most of the Tibiades (1717) of the enigmatic François Chauvon, a student of François Couperin.

Washington McClain, baroque oboe; Alison Melville, recorder/traverso; Julia Wedman, baroque violin; Michael McCraw, baroque bassoon; Charlotte Nediger, harpsichord.

‘…a varied palette of colourings as well as a spectrum of tutti-solo contrasts that adds ear-catching depth of perspective…Judging by the performances, it is an approach that also inspires firm characterization of each piece, a benefit which is here allied to ensemble playing of considerable expertise. In short, this is a disc that brings attractive but essentially simple music bouncing into life.’ Gramophone
