François Couperin describes the Concerts royaux as follows:
they were fashioned «for the small chamber concerts to which Louis XIV summoned me almost every Sunday of the year […] I myself played the harpsichord. If they are as much to the public’s taste as they were agreeable to the late King, I have enough to subsequently make several complete volumes.» Accompanied by violinist Aurélie Wenzel and gambist Stéphanie Houillon, Anne-Catherine Bucher will be delighting the audience with her interpretation.
