NICOLAS LEBÈGUE (1631-1702): Pièces de clavecin, Books I and II.

Description: The style of these pieces may owe something to the examples of Chambonnières and Louis Couperin, but there are notable differences since Lebègue tends to underplay the pictorial or illustrative potential of his genre and emphasize instead its natural language of formal elegance. 3 CDs. Agustín Álvarez (harpsichord).
