He's amazing but why no mention of: The Orchestra, the conductor, when and where this took place. Come on-really? Can't be that difficult to provide this most basic information. BRAVO as always to Olafsson.

With works by Ravel and Grieg, one of Europe's top orchestras performed two masterpieces full of resounding passion and gripping virtuosity together with the most interesting piano soloist of the younger generation. The Piano Concerto in A minor is Edvard Grieg's only completed concerto. The Norwegian composer was inspired to write it when he heard Clara Schumann play her husband's Concerto in A minor. Grieg also incorporated elements of the traditional music of his homeland into the romantic sonority and virtuosity of the piece, such as the Norwegian jumping dance Halling in the first and third movements. Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson impresses his audience with his passionate musicality, explosive virtuosity and intellectual curiosity.

As a kid I saw the 1970's film "Song of Norway". This concert started the film with fantastic scenery from Norway. A fan ever since... Beautiful performance here, thank you!
Grossartige Tonqualität, die leider auch die leichte Verstimmung des Flügels schonungslos offenlegt… Tolle Interpretation des Stücks durch das Orchester und besonders durch V. O., der sich voll in dieses Werk „hineingebissen“ hat. Er kann also doch mehr als Bach… Wunderbar langsam an den rezitativen Stellen und schnell genug, aber nicht überdreht, wo es nötig ist. Eine Performance, die zum Werkverständnis beiträgt und auch einfach schön anzuhören ist. Bravo allen Beteiligten! Ich wünsche mir V. O. mal mit einem Beethoven-Konzert, das wäre sicher spannend.
Pubblico ignorante, non si applaude mai tra un movimento e l’altro di un concerto o sinfonia! È regola non scritta ma dettata dalla buona educazione e soprattutto dalla necessità di non distrarre gli esecutori, e a maggior ragione quando c’è un solista, dalla concentrazione necessaria. I solisti di piano o violino o altro suonano a memoria, distrarli dopo un primo movimento è un fatto grave e rappresenta una mancanza di rispetto. Ma purtroppo il pubblico dei concerti di musica classica sta diventando sempre più ignorante e questo per una totale mancanza di cultura musicale. Avvilente!
È meglio avere un pubblico, magari ipermotivato, che non averlo affatto. Mi è sembrato che abbiano gestito la cosa con assoluta professionalità e gioia. Si tratta di un festival musicale, quindi forse c'erano molte persone che non ne sapevano di più. Meglio così che avere qualche applauso immotivato e poi di nuovo il silenzio.
Non sono d'accordo. Non esiste una regola del genere e se il pubblico è commosso dalla musica, può esprimerlo. Queste "regole" di cui parli servono solo a scoraggiare alcuni membri del grande pubblico dall'apprezzare e assistere a questi meravigliosi spettacoli.

This is one of my favorite piano concertos. This pianist has such an imaginative and poetic interpretation that is completely refreshing. Bravo!!!

Thanks for filling in the gap a bit, @@hansdekorver7365 .

Seriously disagree about Tchaikovsky PC1 and VC, but generally yes. (And, God knows, not Tchaikovsky 6 scherzo!)
무지한거보다 너무 좋아서 박수치고 싶었겠 지요
He misses a key
Really 😊
