Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre was only five when she was dis­cov­ered at the court of Louis XIV. She lat­er became a free­lance harp­si­chordist and com­pos­er. Carole Cerasi jux­ta­pos­es Jacquet’s inge­nious suites with char­ac­ter pieces by con­tem­po­rary François Couperin. ​‘Les Vestales’ and ​‘Les Nonètes’: they are but two class­es of ladies Couperin immor­talised in charm­ing vignettes.
