Our Take

Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson's latest album, "J.S. Bach: Works & Reworks," is a veritable musical feast that takes Bach's timeless compositions and gives them a modern twist that will have you tapping your foot and scratching your head in equal measure. Olafsson effortlessly blends classical precision with contemporary flair, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Prelude in C Minor" to the lively and spirited "Toccata in G Major," Olafsson's virtuosity shines through on every track. His delicate touch and exquisite phrasing bring out the intricacies of Bach's music in a way that is truly captivating.

But it's Olafsson's reimagined versions of Bach's works that really steal the show. "Reflections on Sheep May Safely Graze" is a stunning interpretation that transforms the original piece into a dreamy, ethereal meditation. And "729," Olafsson's electronic reworking of the iconic "Prelude in C Major," is a bold and daring experiment that pays off in spades.

Overall, "J.S. Bach: Works & Reworks" is a triumph of musical innovation and talent. Olafsson's unique blend of classical and electronic influences makes for a truly unforgettable listening experience that is sure to please both Bach purists and modern music lovers alike. Go ahead, give it a spin – you won't be disappointed.
