Philip Glass: Piano Works

This is a tribute to the master of minimal music, legendary Philip Glass, who turned 80 on 31.01.2017.

A year ago Philip Glass handpicked some pianists to perform all of his Etudes together at the Barbican in London. Víkingur Olafsson was one of them.

Víkingur Olafsson is an up-and-coming visionary pianist not only of technical sublimity but also of remarkable entrepreneurial abilities. Besides his growing career as a traditional concert pianist, Víkingur Olafsson has also collaborated with a range of contemporary composers and artists like Olafur Arnalds and Bjork.
