Vikingur Olafsson: Debussy-Rameau CD

After the remarkable global success of his award-winning J.S. Bach recording, celebrated Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson returns with his third Deutsche Grammophon solo album, Debussy · Rameau. It 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.Tracklist: CLAUDE DEBUSSY Prélude from La Damoiselle élue JEAN-PHILIPPE RAMEAU            Pièces de clavecin Le rappel des oiseaux Rigaudons I, II & double Musette en rondeau Tambourin La villageoise Gigues en rondeau I & II DEBUSSY Jardins sous la pluie Serenade for the Doll The Snow is dancing RAMEAU   Pièces de clavecin Les tendres plaintes Les tourbillons L’entretien des Muses DEBUSSY Des pas sur la neigeRAMEAUPièces de clavecin La joyeuse Les Cyclopes RAMEAU / ÓLAFSSON T
