Vikingur Olafsson - Continuum

Víkingur Ólafsson, the acclaimed interpreter of Bach's works, continues his exploration of the iconic composer's music and presents a new single from this series, titled Continuum. It is a piano arrangement of the second movement by the same name of Bach's moving cantata "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen" from BWV 12.
