Description:

The winner of the 2019 Gramophone Award for "Artist of the Year" and the 2020 Opus Classics Award for Instrumental Recording (Piano) in Germany, this astonishing talent has won a string of international music awards. A Mozart tribute by the world's most acclaimed hybrid artist of the digital age, Vikingl Olafsson. Mozart's favorite works are exquisitely arranged like a playlist alongside his contemporaries. German-Austrian Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Haydn are closely related to Mozart in both music and spirit, while Italian Galuppi and Cimarosa, though not directly connected to Mozart and despite their geographical distance, belong to the same musical ecosystem of the 18th century and coexist The two countries reflect different aesthetic values that coexisted in the same musical ecosystem in the 18th century. The juxtaposition of Mozart's Sonata No. 16 (formerly No. 15), Haydn's Sonata No. 47, and other well-known works that piano students are sure to study, with gems from the now neglected composers of the same period such as Galuppi, Cimarosa, and C.P.E. Bach, each doubling the appeal of the other. An extraordinary album that offers the joy of new discovery.His sensitive, bold, and original interpretations of Viennese classical works have further solidified his reputation as a pianist.
