Beethoven, Bach & Schubert Opus 109: Vikingur Olafsson on 2LP

Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson is one of the most sought-after classical artists of our time.

Following his recording of the Goldberg Variations, which earned Olafsson a GRAMMY Award, the title of "Instrumentalist of the Year" from Musical America, the OPUS KLASSIK Bestseller Award, and the German Record Critics' Award, the pianist now presents his new album, Opus 109.

At its heart is Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109 – a masterpiece from the composer's late period, which Vikingur Olafsson places in a musically captivating dialogue with compositions by J.S. Bach and Schubert, tracing the lines of development that converge in this milestone of piano literature.
