Czech Chamber Music Society • Víkingur Ólafsson

For this season’s last Czech Chamber Music Society recital, one of the biggest favourites of the local public is making his return after four years, and his unusually diverse programme confirms his reputation as an original pianist. The elegance of the French Baroque, the elusiveness of Impressionism, and the concentration of repetitive Minimalism will all have a common denominator: Víkingur Ólafsson.
