180-gram double LP

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 2LP gatefold set (pressed on 180-gram 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."
