Our Take

VIKINGUR OLAFSSON Continuum Review:

Just when you thought you couldn't possibly fit any more Bach into your ears, along comes Vikingur Olafsson with his latest album, Continuum. This Icelandic pianist has been making waves in the classical music world, and it's no wonder why.

Olafsson approaches Bach with a fresh perspective, injecting his own quirky, off-beat personality into every note he plays. From the opening track, you can tell this is no ordinary interpretation of the timeless composer. Olafsson's playful, almost mischievous style shines through in every piece, giving these well-known works a new lease of life.

But don't be fooled by the humour - Olafsson is a serious talent. His technical skill is undeniable, with each intricate passage executed with precision and finesse. The way he navigates the complex harmonies and rhythms of Bach's music is nothing short of breathtaking.

Continuum is a delightful rollercoaster of emotions, from moments of pure joy to melancholic introspection. Olafsson's dynamic range is truly impressive, with soft, delicate passages seamlessly transitioning into powerful, commanding crescendos.

In conclusion, Vikingur Olafsson's Continuum is a must-listen for any classical music lover looking for a fresh take on a beloved composer. Olafsson's wit and personality shine through in every note, making this album a true delight from start to finish. Trust us, you won't be able to resist tapping your foot along to this playful and captivating interpretation of Bach.
