Mozart & contemporaries

Description

Deutsche Grammophon is proud to present the new album by Víkingur Ólafsson, one of the most acclaimed classical artists of our time. The Icelandic virtuoso pianist unveils his exciting new project that explores the darker side of Mozart and his contemporaries. Two of them, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) and Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), were closely linked to Mozart, both musically and spiritually. The other two, Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) and Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801), were more distant, with no significant direct connections to Mozart, but belonged to the same musical ensemble of the 18th century. As usual, Víkingur Ólafsson takes ownership of and elevates these great works with the talent, freedom, and enthusiasm that are his own." Víkingur Ólafsson brings classical music to life. " ---The Economist ---." The new superstar of classical piano. " --- Daily Telegraph ---.
