Unendliche Klangräume
Rameau, Debussy, Glass—at first glance, an unusual combination. Yet after just a few bars, a fascinating musical dialogue unfolds between the three composers. In his recital program, Víkingur Ólafsson brings these three masters of timbre into dialogue with one another.

Philip Glass on his 90th birthday
This suits a pianist like Ólafsson particularly well, as a synesthete who not only hears music but simultaneously perceives colors. Perhaps this is precisely the secret behind his extraordinarily nuanced piano playing—and the unique approach with which he reveals connections between Jean-Philippe Rameau, Claude Debussy, and Philip Glass.
As different as their eras may be, all three are united by a keen sense of harmony, timbre, and the way music can shape space and time.
