Title

J.S. BACH Air on the G String / Víkingur Ólafsson

J.S. Bach: Air on the G String (Arr. Ólafsson for Piano from Orchestral Suite No. 3, BWV 1068)

Air on the G String (Arr. &Oacute;lafsson for Piano from Orchestral Suite No. 3, BWV 1068)

With this upcoming album Continuum II, pianist V&iacute;kingur &Oacute;lafsson continues his extraordinary journey through the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, building on the remarkable success of 2024&rsquo;s Continuum.&nbsp;
Widely celebrated for making classical music &ndash; and Bach in particular &ndash; accessible and compelling to younger, culturally curious audiences, the Grammy-winning Icelandic pianist has become today&rsquo;s leading interpreter of Bach for a new generation. With more than 1.2 billion lifetime streams, he also remains the most-streamed living pianist for performances of Bach&rsquo;s music.&nbsp;
Featuring a programme of Bach repertoire, Continuum II includes this brand-new arrangement by V&iacute;kingur &Oacute;lafsson of the celebrated Air on the G String, presented in two versions: one for grand piano and one for upright piano. Bach&rsquo;s music continues to resonate strongly with audiences, accounting for around half of all streams of &Oacute;lafsson&rsquo;s recordings.&nbsp;
The full album is released digitally on 13 November, with the pre-order starting in September.&nbsp;
