Vikingur Olafsson - Continnum

As he continues his epic tour of J.S. Bach’s equally epic Goldberg Variations, Víkingur Ólafsson announces the release of a series of six new Bach singles. Recorded at Reykjavík’s Harpa concert hall in January, the tracks feature piano arrangements of sacred pieces by Bach, four of which have been realised by Ólafsson himself. All six of these gem-like recordings reveal, once again, the pianist’s profound affinity with the composer’s music.

Tracklist
1. J.S. Bach: Cantata, BWV 159: Es ist vollbracht (Arr Ólafsson for Piano)
2. J. S. Bach: Cantata, BWV 21: Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis (Arr. Ólafsson for Piano)
3. J.S. Bach: Cantata, BWV 150: Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (Arr. Ólafsson for Piano)
