Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has made a profound impact with his remarkable combination of highest level musicianship and visionary programmes.  His recordings for Deutsche Grammophon – Philip Glass Piano Works (2017), Johann Sebastian Bach (2018), Debussy Rameau (2020), Mozart & Contemporaries (2021) and From Afar (2022) – captured the public and critical imagination and have led to career streams of over 600 million.

In October 2023, Ólafsson released his anticipated new album on Deutsche Grammophon of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations.  Ólafsson dedicated his 2023/24 season to a Goldberg Variations world tour, performing the work across six continents.  He brought Bach’s masterpiece to major concert halls, including London’s Southbank Centre, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Wiener Konzerthaus, Philharmonie de Paris, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall, Harpa Concert Hall, Walt Disney Hall, Sala São Paulo, Shanghai Symphony Hall, Tonhalle Zürich, Philharmonie Berlin, Mupa Budapest, KKL Luzern and Alte Oper Frankfurt, to name a few.

Now one of the most sought-after artists of today, Ólafsson’s multiple awards include Opus Klassik Instrumentalist of the Year (2023), Opus Klassik Solo Recording Instrument (twice), International Nordic Person of the Year (2023), Rolf Schock Prize for Music (2022), Gramophone’s Artist of the Year (2019), and Album of the Year at the BBC Music Magazine Awards (2019).

A captivating communicator both on and off stage, Ólafsson’s significant talent extends to broadcast, having presented several of his own series for television and radio.  He was Artist in Residence for three months on BBC Radio 4’s flagship arts programme, Front Row – broadcasting live during lockdown from an empty Harpa concert hall in Reykjavík and reaching millions of listeners around the world.

冰島鋼琴家維京格．奧拉夫遜技藝超群，編排演奏曲目別有遠見，憑此兩項特長在樂壇大放異彩。他近年為德意志留聲機公司灌錄的唱片，包括《格拉斯鋼琴作品》（2017）、《巴赫》（2018）、《德布西與拉莫》（2020）、《莫扎特與同時代作曲家作品》（2021）和《來自遠方》（2022），皆啟發了大眾與樂評家的想像力，在串流平台吸引超過六億人次觀看。

2023年10月，奧拉夫遜推出萬眾期待的巴赫作品《哥德堡變奏曲》專輯，由德意志留聲機公司發行，並於2023/24季度以《哥德堡變奏曲》作爲世界巡迴演出的主題，足跡遍及六大洲。在全球各大演奏廳，包括倫敦南岸中心、紐約卡奈基音樂廳、維也納音樂廳、巴黎愛樂廳、東京新多利音樂廳、冰島雷克雅維克的夏帕音樂廳、美國和路迪士尼音樂廳、巴西聖保羅音樂廳、上海交響樂團音樂廳、蘇黎世音樂廳、柏林愛愛樂廳、布達佩斯藝術宮、瑞士琉森文化會議中心、法蘭克福舊歌劇院等，與觀眾分享巴赫這套巨作。

作為當今炙手可熱的音樂家，奧拉夫遜獲頒多個赫赫有名的獎項，包括德國奧帕斯「年度器樂家獎」（2023）及兩度獲得「最佳獨奏唱片獎」、國際北歐人年獎（2023）、索克音樂獎（2022）、《留聲機》「年度藝術家獎」（2019）及《BBC音樂雜誌》「年度最佳唱片獎」（2019）。
