Opus 109 - Víkingur Ólafsson (2 LP)
GRAMMY®-winning pianist Víkingur Ólafsson’s Opus 109 centers on Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109, presented within a thoughtfully curated program that traces its musical lineage. Ólafsson places the work in dialogue with Bach, represented by selections including Partita No. 6, and with Beethoven’s
earlier Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor, Op. 90, which he hears as a bridge to Schubert’s early Sonata in E minor, D. 566. Unified by the tonal world of E major and minor, the program reveals deep connections across generations.
