Summary
In this 2CD deluxe edition, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson continues his exploration of Bach. His original Bach album (CD1 of this deluxe set) has been highly successful and contains a collection of well and lesser known pieces by the famous baroque composer. This also includes reworks by Bach himself of composers such as Vivaldi and Busoni and Transcriptions/Reworks of Chorals by Víkingur Ólafsson himself. Víkingur's interpretation of the baroque repertoire is crystal clear, modern and hauntingly beautiful. In his very own style Víkingur perfectly captures Bach as a master of balance whose music is the ideal combination of emotion and intellect, singing melody and sculpted counterpoint
