Víkingur Ólafsson is praised for his idiosyncratic albums and visionary musical interpretations. Now he's dedicating himself to Bach's Goldberg Variations. "I've dreamed of recording this work for twenty-five years. I considered it a grand, impressive cathedral of music, beautiful in its structure and intricate in its ornamentation. Now I find another metaphor more apt: a great oak tree, no less magnificent, but somehow organic, alive, and vibrant."
