The Goldberg Variations are one of the most demanding works in the piano repertoire and represent a pinnacle of Baroque variation art. For Ólafsson, these pieces offer “unusually pianistic and virtuosic music, examples of brilliant use of counterpoint, and countless moments of sublime poetry, abstract contemplation, and deep emotion—all within the flawlessly crafted architecture of formal perfection.” What particularly impresses the artist is the endless variety that Bach develops in the 30 variations over the simply structured harmonic framework—a variety that is “organic, alive, and dynamic,” continually captivating the listener anew.
