VÍKINGUR ÓLAFSSON
Opus 109 - Beethoven | Bach | Schubert

PRE-ORDER: EXPECTED TO SHIP 21 NOVEMBER

With over one billion streams worldwide, Víkingur Olafsson is one of the most listened-to classical artists of our time. Following the global success of his Grammy-winning recording of the 'Goldberg Variations', the Icelandic pianist presents: 'Opus 109'. At its heart is Beethoven's 'Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109', a masterpiece of the composer's late period, which Víkingur places in an illuminating and musically thrilling temporal dialogue, tracing the lineages that converge on this beloved beacon of the piano literature.
