With a unique ability to engage in dialogue with the great masters of the past through a modern sensibility, Víkingur Ólafsson has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in international pianism. In this recital at the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Icelandic pianist charts a sonic journey connecting three essential names: Bach, Beethoven, and Schubert. A constellation of works in introspective keys and visionary spirit, brought together in a programme shaped by light and shadow, structure and spontaneity. An invitation to be surprised by the subtlety of a performer who turns every recital into an intimate and transformative experience.
