  • Víkingur Ólafsson: Thank you. You know I have been dreaming to play in Moscow since I was six years old. Today finally I play here. And I want to play something in memory of Emil Gilels, my favourite pianist. I want to play - we have a beautiful organ here. I'm going to play a piece for the organ on the piano, Second movement from the Forth Organ sonata by J.S. Bach
    Bach: Organ Sonata No. 4, BWV 528: II. Andante [Adagio] (Transcr. Stradal)

    Mr Olafsson played this an Encore at our Sydney Opera House Concert Hall on Saturday Evening - I fair dinkum blubbered for the power fullest beauty of Bach and Vikingur's powerful beauty. It was magnificent - I wept then and now.

    I have a dilemma. I would prefer to hear this wonderful music on an instrument J S Bach himself might have played. However, Vikingur plays Bach like an angel, on a modern piano! Absolutely glorious! Bravissimo!

    When Bach visits the Romantic period of music history. Sounds very much like a piano piece. A lovely piano solo.

    one of the earliest cassette tapes i bought was emil gilels playing the lyric pieces by grieg. it was one of my favorite recordings, i wore the tape out by playing it so much. i still treasure my memories of listening to it.

    A beautiful gesture! Vikingur Olafsson certainly have an immense talent for Bach, his dramatic expression and his seamless polyphony. Thank you!

    You are a god for Bach interpretation.
    And Emil is proud of you.
    I know.
    Is almost the same touch.
    I love so much Gilels that is so touching when someone dedicate something for him....,

    Well... Which language should I comment here? The concert was in Moscow) never mind - Vikingur is absolutely great, I love him) I've just opened the new name for myself in the sky of Music) Thanks a lot for the beautiful performance , as well as for the memory of famous Emil Gilels) what I'd like to wish to Vikingur - if he would have a chance to touch with legacy of Samuel Feinberg... I think, he would love him at least not less than Emil Gilels. I think everyone who loves Bach can't stay indifferent when meeting legacy of Feinberg) I hope Vikingur will also enjoy that legacy)

    Questo pezzo si suona da solo, basta seguire le note una dopo l'altra. Non c'è altro modo di farlo.

    I thought he was going to do a Victor Borge impersonation: a Swede impersonating a Dane playing a German! What could be better?

    Not sure a mobile phone is a good thing to listen to this on. It sounds a bit too hammered-out, unfortunately. Probably one needed to be at the concert?

      А мне для этого произведения, наоборот, из версий, которые слышал, в среднем больше понравились фортепианные (Ólafsson и Jaap Eilander), чем органные (Simon Preston, Ulf Norberg), хотя Karolina Juodelyte - наравне с фортепианными. Но в целом, конечно, Бах на органе вызывает какие-то космические ассоциации, которых нет ни от какой другой музыки.

      @@dimaphone2984 i listened to eilander playing it, and i felt it a bit too subtle and genteel. i thought olafsson displayed more emotion.

      ​@@biancacastafiore8760 Agreed, Ólafsson's version is my favourite too (and also the first one I encountered, which may have affected my preference:)

      @@dimaphone2984 i suppose it’s a matter of interpretation, there’s nothing wrong with eilander’s approach and perhaps the master JSB would have approved of it. but i just noticed that vikingur “playing” with/varying more the tempo and dynamics.

    Я задоволений цією композицією. Дуже вразливо, але щось не дочув. Може у ті роки х Бахом не жив.
