Blandine Verlet, French harpsichordist, Died at 76

Blandine Verlet was born on February 27, 1942, in Paris and died on December 30, 2018.

She was a French harpsichordist and a harpsichord teacher.

She was known internationally for her recordings of works by François Couperin.

She was broadly adulated for her chronicles of Bach's music, including the Goldberg Variations. 

Verlet is maybe best known for having played the music of her countryman François Couperin, showing outstanding affectability and imagination.

She recorded Couperin's entire works during the 80s, and in late 2011 she came back to re-record five 'ordres' on the period Henri Hemsch harpsichord.

 Blandine Verlet passed away at 76 years old.
