Celebrated harpsichordist Steven Devine completes his monumental survey for Resonus Classics of the complete solo keyboard works by Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) with this new three disc collection. These seminal works of the French Baroque era are brought to life vividly by Devine, mainly marking the earlier part of Rameau's careerand charting the development of the future prolific opera and ballet composer. The three books of Pièces de Clavecin are joined by the Cinq Pièces (derived from the Pièces de Clavecin en Concert), and the individual work La Dauphine. Also included is the substantial compendium Les Indes Galantes - keyboard transcriptions that Rameau himself made from his own opera-ballet of the same name composed in 1735/6.
"Devine is a superb musical guide - varied, expressive, technically agile - but he has provided, too, helpful and clear programme notes on the stylistic challenges of this music...its powers of expression run deep. You won't find a better exponent than Devine." The Observer
