Assi Karttunen - Beyond The River God: Harpsichord Music by Couperin & Lynch (2015)

“What I find spellbinding about [Lynch's] music is that it is wedded to the harpsichord in the same way that the music of the French Baroque clavecinists, personified by Couperin, was wedded to the instrument. Fashioning a program of works by Couperin and Lynch was a stroke of genius. That [Karttunen's] playing equals her musical perspicacity, not to mention her informative and articulate album note, really pays dividends in this amazing venture to unite the voices of two composers from across a divide of three centuries. Stunning performances of stunning music, stunningly recorded. What more can I say?” -- Jerry Dubins, Fanfare
