Largo from Keyboard Concerto in F Minor By Víkingur Ólafsson

The Icelandic pianist has built an international reputation as one of classical music’s most celebrated interpreters of Bach, having won a Grammy Award for his recording of the Goldberg Variations and surpassed one billion streams worldwide. This new recording was made entirely at his home studio in Iceland, The Nutshell, continuing his decades long personal relationship with Bach’s music.

The Largo unfolds with Ólafsson’s characteristically intimate, precise touch, allowing the concerto’s central movement to breathe with quiet emotional clarity. The performance carries the same intensely personal quality that has defined his acclaimed Bach interpretations, favoring restraint and nuance over grandeur.

Much of the attention around this release comes from its place within “Continuum II,” the second installment of Ólafsson’s ongoing Bach project, with fans and critics closely following each new piece as the full album’s November release approaches.

MusicPorta says:

Ólafsson brings his trademark clarity and restraint to this Largo, letting Bach’s melodic lines unfold with unhurried intimacy. It’s a quietly moving performance from one of the finest Bach interpreters working today.
