Vikingur Olafsson | Johann Sebastian Bach 1CD
The press compares him to Glenn Gould, the Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson. After an album of music by Philip Glass, he has now recorded a unique selection of works by Johann Sebastian Bach. It earned him rave reviews and the title of "Gramophone Artist of the Year 2019." The jury praised his gift "for making something familiar feel entirely his own, drawing you into a world where no other interpretation seems possible."
