Deutsche Grammophon proudly presents From Afar, a personal love letter to life and music by one of the most critically acclaimed classical artists of our time, Víkingur Ólafsson. In his most ambitious album to date, Ólafsson delivers a new album full of beautiful arrangements with the repertoire mirrored on both grand piano & upright piano. “Throughout the album, there are intimate conversations and messages from afar - closely knit canons, transcriptions and dedications, as well as distant echoes of nearly forgotten, ancient melodies.” - Ólafsson.
In an innovative move, he has made not one but two recordings of the same repertoire - ranging from Bach to Adès, as well as works by Kurtág himself. Version one was made on a Steinway concert grand, version two on an upright piano. Listeners will be able to compare and contrast these two equally colourful and atmospheric soundworlds when the double album is released in all formats by Deutsche Grammophon on 7 October 2022.

I really like this visual diary format. Looking forward to the album.
I love this channel, one of the best about Music and the Language and Grammar of Music / a musical MAP OR COMPASS ....
I ❤️ Vikingur and the beautiful Icelandic landscapes 😭😭😭 He is always doing something so interesting with his albums. Very excited to hear it. I know it'll be amazing ❤️
It's so amazing seeing Vikingur releasing an album after so long!!! Can't wait to listen to it!!!
Beautiful. Lots of (young and old) pianists can learn a lot from you. If they listen.
Éloge au silence et à l'immensité des paysages...merci Víkingur Ólafsson!
Wow, I can't wait for this. Kurtag... very exciting indeed.
Thank you, Vikingur.
Amazing video! Cheers from Brazil!
The upright piano version of Ave Maria ❤
This is a really beautiful album. I also just after getting the Triad (set of three) albums. I probably can't put this in words, but when he plays, I feel this connection, I feel it in my chest. I'm mesmerised, in the best possible way.
Of the Triad, I've only heard the Phillip Glass so far, saving the other two for later
Astonishing and poetic
so beautiful and meaningful
❤️🔥❤️
역시 아이슬란드의 자연은 굉장히 멋지고 위대하다!👍👍
I purchased the download on Presto and lo and behold no liner notes in pdf, contrary to many of my other purchases on Presto. Any idea of how I can get the PDF?
@@charlesflynn4850 got it, thanks!
@@philippeyared2050 You are welcome. There is a new review today by Jason Victor Serinus at the website of Stereophile magazine.
@@charlesflynn4850 thanks. Clearly he liked what he heard. I did too but I didn't listen yet to all the recording
@@philippeyared2050 You are welcome. I plan to listen to the sound samples later, and watch the video with sound.
I love Víkingur's style, but Im really sick of the DG aesthetics
they're basically feeding stereotypes of their artists now and churning out concept albums that (to me) make little sense. but the music are nothing short of fabulous most of the time
The IMAX Pianist, what a joke. He’s picked up the mantle of Glenn Gould’s narcissistic, self congratulating fairytales… pass
Wow, wonderful video !! What a very beautiful surprise, I'm very happy for this new album !! Thank you so much, Víkingsur and Deutsche Grammophon. 💕💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😊🌹❤️🙋♀️🇨🇵😍😍🫂🫂
