With Leçons de ténèbres pour le mer­cre­di saint, François Couperin com­posed one of the most stir­ring works in Baroque music. Coloured by bold har­monies and rich orna­men­ta­tion, Jeremia’s lamen­ta­tions attain an extra­or­di­nary inten­si­ty. Capriola di Gioia ren­ders Couperin’s inti­mate mas­ter­piece for two sopra­nos and bas­so continuo.
