Víkingur Ólafsson – Bach: Chorale Prelude, BWV 734 "Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein"

Details

Description

“It would all mean nothing without Bach,” says Ólafsson. Having studied his music intensively, he here casts new light on some of the composer’s many different faces. Excerpts from the Well-Tempered Clavier such as the Prelude and Fugue in E minor, BWV 855 or contrapuntal gems such as the Sinfonia No. 15 in B minor, BWV 801 showcase him as, in Ólafsson’s words, “the master of the short story”, while the larger-scale but playful Aria variata, BWV 989 forms the structural heart of the album. Víkingur Ólafsson – Bach: Chorale Prelude, BWV 734 "Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein" (Transcr. Wilhelm Kempff)

Produced by Christopher Tarnow
