ProduktrezensionenJohann Sebastian Bach by Víkingur Ólafsson (CD, 2018)

It will not play on my HiFi CD player or DVD player, only the computer. A copy will.

It got highly recommended on record review and other sources. I agree.This is the fourth copy of this CD I have purchased, from different suppliers. Finally decided to keep it even though it won't play, just for the sleeve notes. None of them load in my Arcam CD player, nor in my DVD player. I have 1800 CDs and have never had this problem. It will load the tracks in the computer. Eventually I copied the CD tracks and burned an image of the disc on a new one, and that plays in everything. At last I can listen to it on the hi-fi . The performance of the tracks I've heard is extraordinarily thoughtful and beautifully executed.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Beautiful Bach interpretations

Outstandingly beautiful play. Bought this after watching him on the Proms (which was actually better than CD. The notes explain that Bach is written in a very precise way, but with relatively few instructions on how to play, making it ideal for interpretation.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Music to live with

Heard a track from this on BBC radio 3 while escaping from dire news bulletins and just had to have it. Vikingur Olafsson is such an exciting musician - such a sensitive interpreter of Bach's music and gives it a pure stripped back quality. I love itVollständige Rezension lesen...

An excellent CD with great music

I thought I knew all about the music of JS Bach, but this performance is a revelation and a delight. Such precise yet almost playful playing. An excellent CD with great music for all fans of JS..

Inspirational

His playing is sensational, I do not know how he manages to produce the beautiful sounds so consistently and with such sensitivity and intelligence.

Excitement again

I discovered him on YouTube and his playing blew me away immediately. Also, his choice for content is refreshing and some exquisite surprises. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
Bravo DG!

No cons - all most positive - a refreshingly unusual and pleasing pianist.
