Fresh from his hugely acclaimed and multi-award-winning album Johann Sebastian Bach, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson's third Deutsche Grammophon recording pairs works by two revolutionary French composers separated by a century and a half: Jean-Philippe Rameau and Claude Debussy.
The album Debussy & Rameau alternates music by the two composers, creating an enthralling dialogue between them. Works are drawn from across both composers' careers, with the Debussy selection including well-known miniatures such as La Fille aux cheveux de lin as well as the less familiar Prelude to La Damoiselle élue arranged for piano solo. Rameau's works are mainly drawn from his Pièces de clavecin collections of between 1724 and 1741. One of the album's centrepieces is Ólafsson's own Rameau arrangement The Arts and the Hours. Ólafsson's album concludes with a piece that connects the two composers directly: Debussy's Hommage à Rameau from Images book 1, a moving sarabande written as a tribute from one rule-breaking composer to another.
"Breathtakingly brilliant pianist" – Gramophone
"Few musicians match Ólafsson for creative flair" - BBC Music Magazine
"It not only brings the two composers together but offers the perfect distillation of all that has gone before. " – Gramophone, on Debussy-Rameau
"Vikingur Olafsson's latest recording is a sprawling juxtaposition of Debussy and Rameau." – The NY Times on Debussy-Rameau
