Víkingur Ólafsson on the Unpredictable Futurism of Rameau
All classical musicians are devoted to the art of reinterpretation — of trying to make the old feel new again. Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson actually manages to pull it off. Whether he’s performing keyboard music hundreds of years old or a piece hot off the press, one has the feeling that they’ve never heard this music before, or this music played in this way. As Ólafsson puts it, “I have this feeling that everything I do is contemporary.”In this episode, Ólafsson reflects on some of his earliest musical memories, what it was like to grow up amid the ha...

Auf dem Bach-Olymp angekommen: Víkingur Ólafsson
„Bach", sagt Vikingur Ólafsson, "ist der einzige Komponist, den ich den ganzen Tag lang spielen kann, ohne seiner jemals überdrüssig zu werden.“ Der barocke Meister begleitet den isländischen Star-Pianisten schon seit vielen Jahren, aber erst jetzt hat es Ólafsson gewagt, ein ikonisches Werk Bachs einzuspielen: die "Goldberg-Variationen". Die Konkurrenz auf diesem Terrain ist groß, die namhaftesten Pianist*innen haben sich fast alle mal daran versucht. Aber mit seiner Aufnahme ist Vikingur Ólafsson drauf und dran, seinerseits zur Referenz zu werden - noch vor Legenden wie Glenn Gould oder Murray Perahia. Eine reife Leistung!

Ólafsson speaks with program director John Pitman about how he made connections between Mozart and C.P.E. Bach, as well as important composers of Mozart’s time who aren’t so well known today, such as Baldassare Galuppi, whom Ólafsson regards as a very important and forward-thinking composer of the 18th century.
