With over one billion streams worldwide, Víkingur Ólafsson is one of the most listened-to classical artists of our time. Following the global success of his Grammy-winning recording of the Goldberg Variations, the Icelandic pianist now presents his latest album: Opus 109. At its heart is Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109, a masterpiece of the composer’s late period, which Víkingur places in an illuminating and musically thrilling temporal dialogue, tracing the lineages that converge on this beloved beacon of the piano literature.
