Bach Piano Works And Reworks

Following on from his critically acclaimed recording of piano works by Philip Glass, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has now made a second concept album for Deutsche Grammophon. The simply named Bach album features original works alongside inspired adaptations by composers including Rachmaninov, Busoni and Ólafsson himself. Renowned for his innovative musical projects, the pianist here offers listeners a very personal vision of Bach’s intricate keyboard music in all its rich variety.
