I'm in awe of how his heart and fingers know the path and follow it boldly, mindfully, carefully.
After the din of centuries, after the dust of history, after the banality of us all there will remain the genius of Bach. Would that anyone of us could have achieved in a lifetime what Bach achieved in a day.
Bach is forever.
@@anthonydavid6703 he does. He speak for himself and many of us
Good luck genius
Rossini? why not
I always thought Glenn was the ultimate. Now I hear this: Vikingur is his successor. I am flabbergasted! But in the end it is the genius of JS Bach!!
To be able to play well, just one piece of Bach would be a life not wasted.
It was only yesterday that I heard this pianist on the radio. I was knocked out, so have now found all Vikingur's clips on TH-cam. The boy is sensational. I have known these variations for fifty years and used to attempt them myself. In this performance, the ornamention, the range of colours done only by fingers and the range done by pedalling, his voicing, his singing tone, his contrapuntal thinking. Since Gould & Tureck (in their different ways) no pianist has so thrilled me in Bach as V Olafsson.
He is a phenomenon in the musical world. An interpreter of Bach with so interesting musical ideas and a faultless technique to realize them is something extraordinary.
Olafsson is grandiose! But listen to Igor Levit's Goldberg Variationen, too.
Hardly a boy - he is 35!
But I agree he is sensational. The most limpid Bach playing since Dinu Lipatti.
Yeah he is really amazing. The number of colors he brings into his play... I think I feel it's sometimes a bit "superficial" but it's probably at least 50% me who wasn't even able to imagine this range of playing was possible ^^
@@hinrichberlin8156 Thank you for introducing me to Igor Levit's Goldberg Variationen. Levitt, too, is exceptional.
I don't usually listen to piano music, being a pianist myself, but this is different. He,like Gould,transcends the instrument so all we hear is the music in its purest intention and expression. Amazing in other words
“I don’t usually listen to piano music, being a pianist myself” … this is a very troubling statement.
Bach truly speaks to us here
Massive, huge talent.
This young man has the golden touch, so serene and very relaxing, thank you!
His fingers play the keys with such authority. He really is a wonderful pianist.
Best performance of Bach
Absolute clarity of idea and execution: nothing can touch Vikingur at the moment as a Bach interpreter.
Love how he lets Bach’s music speak for itself 💗💗💗
limpid clarity with a quiet lyrical passion - that is ---Bach.
Great soul,great musician,thank you Vikingur !
I am so impressed!!! He is a master of detail!
Bach's music always gives me hope and courage. Thank you for the good music.
Just beautiful - touching heart and soul - your way playing Bach!
Dynamics and attack Bach could have only dreamed about. Olafsson brings new and wonderful music to my tired heart. I can only be grateful.
i love his melancholic, etheric sound...what a talent!
Les gens ne comprennent toujours pas que le son d'un piano vient surtout de sa structure ,sa préparation, intonation, harmonisation accord ect. .....
@@monsieurtimmy6838 as well as what the recording engineers decide to do with it, unfortunately...
This chap does know how to play Bach !
I am not a musician. I love listening to Bach. Even with my tin ears I can tell this guy's playing is special!
.....If you love to listen to JSB you do surely feel with heart and soul. No explanation needed. Everything perfectly alright! RDS
❤
bravo vìkingur. bravo...
Reminds me of Dinu Lipatti.Sounds exquisite.
I wonder if this performance is perhaps how Bach might have played it.....the music is both human and God like.
This interpretation is sensational!
A completely new sound of Bach! Just simply marvelous!
Mr Ólafsson has a great sound!
il faut l'écouter jouer Rameau ... un déjà grand pianiste. Il joue BACH avec une élégance particulière. un bonheur
Great, great musician performing great, great Music
Just… Wow!
Thank you SO much, Hr. Olafsson!
Wow!. Where have I been? Is it possible that we have found another Glenn Gould? Yes, it must be! Perfect touch, phrasing, making the piano sing melodiously. Lovely, delicate hands and superb technique. Here I go to the CD store!
yes a wild boy but without the harshness, but clearly technically with all the articulatory skill the new generation of pianists possesses (+ sokolov)
Not Gould. Tharaud or Schiff.
buy both the Bach (the new version) and the Rameau, supreme music making. Actually technically beyond my beloved Gould. I hope he can sustain that level of quality. Out of this world.
@@Jorgereflexivo an insult a day keeps the doctor away :-) Different class altogether, my friend.
Very subtle beautiful playing
Extraordinary performance ! Thank you !
Breathtaking music and performance. ❤️
This is wonderful. In some ways it's even better than the album version. So much to love here, not the least of which is that when he reprises the Aria after the last variation he plays it "in the distance" as if it's a memory of the Aria. To my ears, Víkingur Ólafsson's translations of Bach to the piano are among the best I've ever heard.
❤
Bach full of surprises and beautifully played. Greatly appreciated 4:30
Olafsson congratulations.
👍👍👍
Exquisitely performed. Thank you for the many colours and depth you have given to this gem of a work.
Without any doubt, Gould has found an heir in this pianist. Most beautiful interpretation since the master.
Very perfect touch
Marvelous!
nous sommes privilégies de voir surgir de jeunes pianistes surdoués dans notre époque tourmentée...trifonov, juga wang,lisitsa....et soudain ce vikingur et son BACH qui défie toute description...merci,merci..
Superb Bach playing, taking the listener on an emotional journey through to final peace and serenity. This performance shows how the piano can reveal gems of musical detail that are impossible on the harpsichord ...
Marvellous played!
Absolutely amazing performance. Made my day
Прекрасный пианист , глубокий музыкант! Спасибо за музыку Баха!
Quelle merveille !
Smoothe as transparent glass of multiple colors! Like flowing water or clouds overhead!👍🌹👌
It was today that I discovered this amazing pianist. I have two favourite Bach performers, but this young man outshines them.
I like so much Víkingur Ólafsson. He is my new reference, for Bach music.
EXCELENT!!!! SUPREME!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
Amazing control of dynamics and voicings.
So fresh. Unbelievable. Thank You so much Olaff.
Right, but then, who is this guy, Samuel Feinberg, recorded in the sheet music performance? He arranged the peice. His playing is stunning as well.
This young man really understands what piano-forte actually means, like no one else in my memory.
The whole history of the piano thrown into the toilet by your short memory...
(Mmmmm.... Should one reply to such hopelessly ignorant, vulgar and arrogant comment? ... No, what for?)
@@trnfncb11 lmao passive aggressive boomers
Fascinatingly beautiful. I cannot stop listening.
Amazing... A fresh new sound from Bach. What a wonderful pianist. I am a pianist too, when I first heard Vikingur I was impressed and immediately felt that a great pianist emerged. Thank you!
просто молча слушаю и наслаждаюсь
J.S. Setting the universe on an even keel if only you'll listen. Thank you, Vikingur!
I have been a guitarist my entire life, but I understand piano and other takes.
This is extraordinary.
Great pianist!😊
Brilliant, firy job Mr. Ó. Your Viking ancestors would be very proud.
Completely different from everything done previously! Absolutely wonderful!!!
It was an amazing performance. I enjoyed every moment.
Wow!! Beautiful! What a great interpreter! :)
He looks and plays piano like a sober artist with great passion. Good news for the music...
О, да! Божественный пианист. Особенно, когда он играет Баха.
И чувственность, и сдержанность, и мастерство музыканта, конечно...
Хочется слушать и слушать. И следить за руками. И смотреть на этого молодого человека. Как не выразить слова благодарности Всевышнему?!
Храни его, Господи!
His touch takes you so close this competition , that you feel you drawn in totally,!
I got me his excellent album for Christmas - and it is a constant source for joy, inspiration and comfort in these trying times during the lock-down!
👏👏👏👏 Nice what a nicely felt performance of Bach this young pianist looks really promising!
Bravo!!! All that I consider is essential in an Bach interpretation is there. Also the diminuendos and the rubatos. In these italian inspired variations I can smell the genious of a real artist, Vikingur Ólafsson.
The best Bach performer !!
Wirklich eine zauberhafte Interpretation!
A++!!! The most beautiful minor .
Music with melismas has a very high senses of expression. Love it!
Thank you ! Bravo!!!
I heard Vikingur play a Bach Partita in the cloisters of the Abbeye of Silvocaine at La Roque D'Antheron in 2017 and it was clear then we were in the presence of a Bach pianist of unerring instincts and taste, not to mention one possessing seemingly flawless virtuosity.
Abbaye de Silvacane with so old and beautiful plane trees!
Astonishing!
Unglaubliche Klangkultur stets voll inhaltlich begründet eingesetzt. Ein Erlebnis für den Spieler selbst wie für Zuhörer!
Jawohl! Johann Sebatian muss sein sehr Stoltz daoben Im himmel wann er hört dieses neues supertalent.
Pure Brilliance.
Bravo! I have just listened to this masterly playing. Wow!
It's good for the soul
Floating on his brilliant interpretation.
What is so fun about Bach is that he always inspires new interpreters to play him the best they can. No offend in this, and we listeners have the benefit to listen to all attempts. What makes me so glad now is this Islander Vikingur Ólafsson. As I understand, he is one of the best these times to play Bach on a piano. I think he needs attention, but a recommendation not to think so much about Glenn Gould. So forget Glenn and play it the way you want, Vikingur!
I newly heard him at Berwald Hall, Stockholm, in a Mozart program. But the encore was Bach, Organ sonata no 4 for piano. Guess if this was popular among the audience?
Finally a distinguish good taste and technique modern pianist ..thanks God talents still shine over a world of corruption and false dark prophets imposed to us
Talent ( Atlantic) is in Angels hands . The good connection to invisible world. !
That the Ocean of a new ideas and waves of emotions. Kvanta mechanic!
Maitrise et lâché prise !
tout le génie de Bach rendu par un très grand interprète !
Неперевершено! Яка насолода! Велике спасибі!
For me this is the best performance 💜💙
Amazing! I'm actually stuck for words.
Ein wahnsinnig guter Interpret!
Bach trully Spears to all of us here.
He makes me happy I found the right click/ "loop" feature !!
Respect for the author and personality of the interpreter. Thanks a lor for your excellent and original performance. Good music and greetings from Italy,
Fabio
Браво Олаф !
Beautiful
Hard working people with a GOD-given talent as a present to this troubled world. Thank you. (beautiful sound too !)
He is an atheist!
@@emfox6280 So God's present to this troubled world through an atheist then. No contradiction if you know God.
Excellent!
A great discovery!
An absolute pleasure to listen to! Glad I stumbled onto this.
Su interpretación es menos visceral que la de Gould, pero es más etérea, más espiritual....alimento para el alma...Otro de los grandes intérpretes de Bach...Es y será de los Grandes.
Stunning, brilliant! Thrilling.
I forgot about the yellow lounge...this pianist is the perfect Bach performer! His interpretation is heavenly!!
He plays really nice, BUT i think the perfect bach performer was our beloved glenn gould. At least for me :)
