📰It's fair to say Bachtrack enjoyed Víkingur Ólafsson at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music last week: "After the interval there was the most complete, the most emotionally coherent account of Beethoven’s so-called Emperor Concerto I have ever experienced."

He was meant to play Beethoven, instead we got Bach. And it was breathtaking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Vikingur Olafsson. thetimes.com/article/7e9b94…

#morninglistening to VíkingurÓlafsson's GoldbergVariations on Deutsche Grammophon (DG) - although it's just as nice, if not nicer, to fall asleep to them. (*Not because of them; merely parallel. Just as was their alleged purpose.) Amzn: amzn.to/42Tl9mg

Víkingur Ólafsson: Beethovens pianokonsert Sällsynt ögonblick när alla lyssnar till Bach Solisten Víkingur Ólafsson ger en oklanderlig tolkning av Beethovens pianokonsert nr 5 i Konserthuset. Men allra starkast är ett adagio av J S Bach. Svenska Dagbladet svd.se/a/EyM18K/recen…
