  • The prelude's central idea takes after its title - a girl with golden hair, which in the fine art symbolizes innocence and naivety. This voyage of musical discovery introduced Ólafsson to the immaculate blend of “freedom and discipline” in Debussy’s piano writing. “As extraordinary innovators of both harmony and form, with a unique ear for colour and a keen sense of the theatrical, both composers, Debussy and Rameau, wrote music which engages more senses than just the hearing”, he observes. “And both enjoyed giving their compositions titles that stimulate the imagination - the music itself ranging from the purely programmatic to the entirely abstract. As in previous albums, however, I have left the music itself guide me, rather than a fixed ideology.” Watch pianist Víkingur Ólafsson (“Artist of the Year” at the Gramophone Awards 2019) perform Debussy's 'La fille aux cheveux de lin'.

    Debussy's inspiration for the piece was a poem by the same name by Leconte de Lisle. Do you think there is a connection between the poem and the piano piece?

      They are imageable. Readers and audiences might imagine themselves in front of the impressionist paintings like Auguste Renoir's. More than 'beautiful,' the performance pictures a girl with warmth, smile and peace.

    One of the greatest pianists alive. I like his Debussy even more than his Bach. Good taste, no mannerisms or romanticisms, no jumping up and down on the piano bench and making silly grimaces like so many other pianists do. There's the "clarté française" Debussy (and Ravel) wanted to.
    In my opinion the best Debussy since Michelangeli.

    the prelude was inspired by images from the childhood of the composer and the nostalgia to the time of innocence and simplicity.the metaphoric implication of the soft-silky flaxen hair aimed to depicting how love could be in a world lacking obstacles and barriers.hence the music came in such an easy flow of chords .

    if you didn't know Debussy was an impressionist era composer. In the impressionist era the art wasn't limited to music, famous artists such as Calude Monet, Edgar Degas and others. If you look at these paintings you might see something in this video that I did too. The camera angles and lights make it look like he is being painted in an impressionist style. Truly incredible.
