Continuum [Vinyl]

As he continues his epic tour of J.S. Bach's equally epic Goldberg Variations, Víkingur Ólafsson presents a series of six new Bach singles. Recorded at Reykjavík's Harpa concert hall in January 2024, the tracks feature piano arrangements of sacred pieces by Bach, four of which have been realized by Ólafsson himself. 12" EP, 45 RPM.
