Víkingur Ólafsson's Goldberg Variations (our overall best-seller of 2023) enjoyed a resurgence of interest in the run-up to Christmas, as did three of his earlier releases: his Deutsche Grammophon debut with Philip Glass from 2017, the previous Bach project from 2018, and the Debussy/Rameau recital from 2020. Stay tuned for news of his next major recording project over the coming weeks...
