Víkingur Ólafsson - Rameau: Pieces de clavecin en concerts: 2. La Cupis (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 second episode of 'Talk & Play' Ólafsson discusses Rameau's La Cupis. The character pieces that follow stem from Rameau’s 1741 chamber music collection Pièces de clavecin en concerts, also prepared by the composer for solo keyboard. Here, the passage of time has rendered the titles somewhat enigmatic. “La Cupis” may be yet another feminine portrait, its potential namesake being Marie-Anne Cupis, a well-known dancer.
“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

Molto bravo, always a pleasure listening to you.... ( my english maybe is not correct) 😊

[@OnASeasideMission]

Absolutely!
Anyone who thinks JP Rameau wasn't a melodic composer probably thinks that Mozart was past his best by the 27th Concerto.
Love to hear that person's best.
