Harpsichord performance of Tambourin by Jean-Philippe Rameau.
The tambourin is a Provençal dance form characterized by a steady rhythmic pulse and strong percussive profile. Rameau employed the form both in his operatic works and in his keyboard music, where it becomes a vehicle for rhythmic insistence and clear articulation within the French baroque style.
Presented here on the harpsichord, the piece is approached through rhythmic clarity and balance, allowing its dance character to emerge.
Bruno Martins is a harpsichordist and contemporary musician based in Paris.
