Alfred Deller sings Couperin: “Deuxième leçon“

Here is the “Second Lesson“ from Couperin’s magnificent “Leçons de ténèbres“ with countertenor Alfred Deller. Desmond Dupré, viola da gamba, and Harry Gabb, organ. Recorded in 1960. Deller made a later recording of this work on Harmonia Mundi (with tenor Philip Todd) in 1967. That recording is still in print. Link to My Alfred Deller playlist:
