Víkingur Ólafsson – Bach: Prelude & Fugue, BWV 855a: 1. Prelude in B Minor (Transcr. Siloti)

Preview, download or stream: Víkingur Ólafsson – Bach: Prelude & Fugue, BWV 855a: 1. Prelude in B Minor (Transcr. Siloti) Víkingur Ólafsson is a musical free spirit with a mission. He first made the classical world sit up and listen in early 2017 with his recording of solo piano works by Philip Glass – a fascinating journey through the time and space of their minimalist structures. Glass is now followed by Bach. Ólafsson’s second Deutsche Grammophon album, the pithily entitled Bach, contains a mixture of original works and transcriptions, which the pianist has woven together in intriguing style. “It would all mean nothing without Bach,” says Ólafsson. “If Glass’s music is minimal, then Bach’s is maximal!” Having studied his music intensively, he here casts new light on some of the composer’s many different faces.
