Víkingur Ólafsson: Goldberg Variations
Presented by Adelaide Festival
Sunday 17 March 2024 at 2.30pm
Celebrated for his visionary interpretations of J.S. Bach, Víkingur Ólafsson, one of the world’s leading pianists, makes his Australian debut at Adelaide Festival with Bach’s monumental Goldberg Variations.
'The Goldberg Variations contain some of the most virtuosic keyboard music ever written, some of the most astonishingly brilliant uses of counterpoint in the repertoire and countless instances of exalted poetry, abstract contemplation and deep pathos – all within immaculately shaped structures of formal perfection. In 30 variations, built on the humble harmonic framework of a simple, graceful aria, Bach turns limited material into boundless variety like no one before or since. He is the greatest keyboard virtuoso of his time.'
– Víkingur Ólafsson
