2025 Grammy® Award Nominee:
• Best Classical Instrumental Solo: "Bach: Goldberg Variations"

Back to Bach: after the huge success of Johann Sebastian Bach (2018), Víkingur Ólafsson has now recorded the composer's monumental Goldberg Variations, available as a 2-LP gatefold set (pressed on 180g black vinyl). The accompanying booklet includes an engrossing and in-depth essay in which the pianist discusses the work and its history. He also reflects on the performance decisions he had to make in the studio when it came to creating a definitive version of a work he'd dreamt of recording for 25 years. "At least to me, the Goldberg Variations' genius lies not in the general, but the specific," says Ólafsson. "As each variation unfolds, one must be wholly gripped by its individual drama and affect, drawn into its own marvellous little microcosm and filled with the joy of discovering it."

...this is a performance that will sweep the listener away.
-James Manheim, AllMusic.com, 4.5/5 stars (The AllMusic 2023 Year in Review - Favorite Classical Instrumental Albums)
