Víkingur Ólafsson – Philip Glass: Piano Works (Clear Vinyl)

This is a tribute to the master of minimal music, the legendary Philip Glass, who turned 80 on 31.01.2017. Philip Glass handpicked some pianists to perform all of his Etudes together at the Barbican in London. Víkingur Olafsson was one of them. Olafsson is an up-and-coming visionary pianist not only of technical sublimity but also of remarkable entrepreneurial abilities. Besides his growing career as a traditional concert pianist Olafsson has also collaborated with a range of contemporary composers and artists like Olafur Arnalds and Bjork.
