Víkingur Ólafsson – Bach: Prelude in C minor, BWV 847 (The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I., No. 2)

Описание: Víkingur Ólafsson is a musical free spirit with a mission. 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. Having studied his music intensively, he here casts new light on some of the composer’s many different faces. Excerpts from the Well-Tempered Clavier such as the Prelude and Fugue in E minor, BWV 855 or contrapuntal gems such as the Sinfonia No. 15 in B minor, BWV 801 showcase him as, in Ólafsson’s words, “the master of the short story”, while the larger-scale but playful Aria variata, BWV 989 forms the structural heart of the album.
