During his studies in New York, VÃkingur Ólafsson became aware of the works of Jean-Philippe Rameau, which immediately fascinated him. Here the Icelandic pianist Rameaus interprets Le Rappel des Oiseaux, which is part of his album Debussy - Rameau.
As the dreamy prélude comes to a close, the curtains are raised to reveal the dusky forest home of Rameau’s birds. What ensues are lively scenes from his extraordinarily inventive Suite in E minor. The birds are calling (Le Rappel des oiseaux). 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. - VÃkingur Ólafsson.
