About

Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has made a profound impact with his remarkable combination of highest level musicianship and visionary programmes. His recordings for Deutsche Grammophon – Philip Glass Piano Works (2017), Johann Sebastian Bach (2018), Debussy Rameau (2020), Mozart & Contemporaries (2021) and From Afar (2022) – have captured the public and critical imagination. In October 2023, Ólafsson releases his anticipated new album on Deutsche Grammophon of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

Reviews

He piles one triumph on top of another … the Goldberg crown has settled on a new head
The Spectator
Ólafsson’s phrasing is so graceful, his articulation playful yet exact.  The effect is utterly beguiling
The Times
Ólafsson’s interpretation is outstanding. ... Supple playing, flexibility in speed and mood, contrapuntal clarity, a singing bass line, an abundance of expression but no intrusive mannerisms: all make this a Goldbergs for repeated listening.  Fiona Maddocks
