Víkingur Ólafsson – Rameau: Pieces de clavecin en concerts : II. La Cupis

Víkingur Ólafsson describes Rameau's "La Cupis" as follows: The character pieces 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. Why not? The work’s yearning, soulful melodies are surrounded by nimble, dance-like episodes. Watch Víkingur Ólafsson peform Jean-Philippe Rameau's Pieces de clavecin en concerts : II. La Cupis.

"In any case, it is full of passion and zest." - Víkingur Ólafsson

What would you like Víkingur Ólafsson to record next?

[nickcastle]

Quelle modernité dans cette écriture ! Rameau n'est pas assez considéré par le monde classique. L'interprétation de ses compositions sur un piano "moderne" procure une dimension nouvelle et beaucoup d'émotions.

[JamesSmith-mwps]

So wonderfully radiant, pure, and elegant. I wish Rameau was more commonly played.

[tsanchezts]

Рамо, Джин Филипп. Фантастическая и замечательная музыка. Поздравляем Олафссона. Спасибо.

[한영자-bx]

[JoyBausch]

Considering this is played on a modern piano it's simply amazing.

[ilMonta]

Bellissimo! Tutto l’album è magnifico 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[ДмитрийПотупка]

Очень даже хорошо! Красивые трели. Мне понравилось

[marycavender]

This is so short but sweet. Didn't last long enough! To pick what would a great list to hear next is very much like comparing apples and oranges! Somehow something intense and powerful!🤔🎭🎼🎶🎵👍🌹

[davidherman]

Modulating between the minor and major keys, makes this piece very beautiful, and it ends in the minor key.

[tarutatjana]

Has anyone else been looking for sheet music of this piece? Any luck?

[kevinkazakevich]

I enjoyed listening and watching and have the CD. It sounds great on a sound big speakers. Not everyone can play like this...with emotion and technique. What next? Is there any movie music that you like? Any songs? And there is so much classical piano music that I have never heard.

О проведении сценарного анализа, с перебором, иногда, и маловероятных вариантов, с целью, соответственно, нахождения приемлемого решения, но с отсутствующим, пока ещё, необходимым результатом

[AlexanderSalzillo]

This beautiful playing brings me to tears. Rameau's music is serene and soulful
❤❤❤

What a beautiful and transparent sound! A truly wonderful performance.

[andreapraderio]

La bella musica non ha tempo, è sempre attuale.

[DenZhdanovPianist]

Absolutely mesmerizing shooting. Except of an off-sync spot at 03:39 ;P

[elenachatzigeorgaki]

From that peaceful numbness to that slight tension from 1:45 till that "come and go" ending...Brilliant all the way. An absolute pleasure to watch.

[joelweber]

I would like him to record ON a Pleyel or Erard - would love to hear what tone and sounds he can evoke on the instruments so prevalent in the lives of these composers.

[PrisciliaS]

this version is so sexy.. much better than the baroque concerto version
