- clicking into the box Simply click into this box with your mouse and it will immediately become empty of text in anticipation of your search request. - several search words You can put in several search words - simply make a space between the words.&nbsp; e.g. &ldquo;karajan mozart symphonies" finds only Mozart Symphonies conducted by Karajan - a search that also&nbsp;excludes&nbsp;some information Placing a minus-sign (-) before one word will exclude that word from the search: e.g. &ldquo;Karajan symphonies -mozart" finds all Karajan-conducted Symphonies except those by Mozart - using the album number&nbsp; If you are looking up information on an album of which you have some details, then use the identification number to find it best.&nbsp; On&nbsp;older CDs&nbsp;the number is 7 digits long shown usually in the form &ldquo;415 253-2". You can however type the number in anyway - &ldquo;415 253-2", &ldquo;4152532", &ldquo;415 2532" - all versions will work. Recently we have started using&nbsp;twelve digits, whereby the first five digits (usually 00289 for CDs and 00440 for DVDs) are not currently recognised by our web catalogue.&nbsp;Please leave these numbers out. Sometimes&nbsp;local versions&nbsp;of our international releases are manufactured and these have different numbers - except the number written in the barcode which reflects the international number. This number has 12 digits. Ignore the first four digits and the last digit and you have a seven digit number that our web catalogue will recognise. Sorry for this!

Title

Following his world tour with Bach&rsquo;s Goldberg Variations, pianist and acclaimed interpreter of Bach&rsquo;s works V&iacute;kingur &Oacute;lafsson releases his new EP entitled Continuum. The work features six new interpretations of the iconic composer&rsquo;s works, four of which &Oacute;lafsson arranged himself and two arrangements by other composers. He recorded the piano arrangements of Bach&rsquo;s sacred music in Reykjav&iacute;k's Harpa concert hall in January.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"When I play Bach, I am reminded that historical eras in music are notions we superimpose on what is essentially a continuum: an unbroken thread linking us all, a running stream flowing through us &ndash; what the Germans, incidentally, call a Bach," says the pianist. Continuum is &Oacute;lafsson&rsquo;s personal Bach diary, a dialog with Bach&rsquo;s music and an ongoing homage to his artistry.&nbsp;
