Víkingur Ólafsson - Rameau: Les tendres Plaintes (Talk & Play)

After the remarkable global success of his award-winning J.S. Bach recording, celebrated Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson returns with his third solo album. Debussy · Rameau. The album juxtaposes pieces by two of the greatest French composers - both musical revolutionaries - exploring the contrasts and common ground between them. The innovative new recording follows Ólafsson’s extraordinary albums Philip Glass Piano Works and Johann Sebastian Bach.
In this first episode of 'Talk & Play' Ólafsson discusses Rameau's Les tendres plaintes. What follows Debussy’s tender apologies on the album are Rameau’s tender complaints in ‘Les Tendres Plaintes’ from his Suite in D. In fact, tenderness was also the word evoked by Debussy to describe what he admired so deeply in Rameau - “Delicate and charming tenderness”, to be exact.
“As extraordinary innovators of both harmony and form, with a unique ear for colour and a keen sense of the theatrical, both Rameau and Debussy wrote music which engages more senses than just that of hearing.” - Víkingur Ólafsson

Thank you so much for this most exquisite music. I am desperately searching for the wonderful clip that you recently posted from your house in Iceland, combining Bach with Rameau's bird conversation - to show a friend. Where can we find this please? it was a gem. Thank you so much.

Please tell me if you have published your piano transcription of “Les Bóreades”. If so, where can I purchase it? I am an organist and pianist, so glad to learn of Stradal’s transcriptions of some of Bach’s organ works through you.
Your playing is exquisite and sublime and gets right to the heart of the soul! I thank your parents for ushering you into this world🌻
