Our Take

Vikingur Olafsson has brought a fresh spin to Bach's iconic Goldberg Variations, and boy, it's a wild ride. From the get-go, Olafsson captivates listeners with his dynamic interpretation, seamlessly blending traditional classical techniques with his own quirky flair.

The opening 'Aria' sets the tone perfectly, with Olafsson's delicate touch and masterful control drawing you in from the first note. As the variations progress, Olafsson's playful interpretation shines through, adding unexpected twists and turns to this timeless masterpiece.

Tracks like 'Variation 15' showcase Olafsson's technical prowess, with lightning-fast arpeggios and intricate phrasing keeping you on the edge of your seat. But it's not all flash and no substance - Olafsson's emotional depth shines through in tracks like 'Variation 25,' where his delicate touch brings out the heart-wrenching beauty of Bach's composition.

Overall, Olafsson's Bach: Goldberg Variations is a must-listen for classical music fans looking for a fresh take on a beloved classic. With his infectious energy and undeniable talent, Olafsson has cemented himself as one of the most exciting pianists in the industry today. Do yourself a favour and give this album a spin - you won't be disappointed.
