Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Nouvelles suites" is a masterpiece of classical music, beautifully performed on the piano. Released on 1 January 2001 by harmonia mundi, this album showcases Rameau's intricate and delicate compositions, which are typically associated with the harpsichord. However, Alexandre Tharaud's bold decision to play these suites on a modern piano pays off, as he brings a new level of depth and nuance to the music.
The album features a range of pieces, including the iconic "Allemande", "Courante", and "Sarabande", as well as more playful works like "La Fanfarinette" and "Les Trois Mains". Tharaud's performance is characterised by its sensitivity and restraint, never overpowering the subtle rhythms and melodies that are hallmarks of Rameau's style.
With a duration of 1 hour and 2 minutes, this album is a significant undertaking, but one that is richly rewarding for fans of classical music. Jean-Philippe Rameau's "Nouvelles suites" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of Baroque music, and Alexandre Tharaud's innovative approach makes this album a standout in the genre.
