Piano Solo
Four Sundays at 15.00 and one Sunday at 19.00
Anyone who enjoys concentrated musicality at the highest level will get their fill here. When a solo pianist interprets the masterpieces of piano literature in the darkened Main Hall of Konserthuset, it is pure magic. This season, major, elite pianists present the kinds of moments that could best be described as: “so quiet you could hear a pin drop.”

He has a warm approach and passionate musicality, and draws a massive audience, with 2.6 million listens on Spotify – per month – and albums that sell in huge editions.
Víkingur Ólafsson has been celebrated for his interpretations of Rameau, Mozart, and works by American minimalist Philip Glass, among others. When he performed at Konserthuset Stockholm in spring 2022, with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, he played John Adams’ piano concerto Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes?
But the particular focus for Víkingur Ólafsson’s performance here is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. At his first recital in Konserthuset, he plays the famous Goldberg Variations, music that many associate with Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, who has a cult following. With his deeply personal interpretations of Bach’s music, it is perhaps no surprise that the New York Times described Víkingur Ólafsson as “Iceland’s Glenn Gould”.

He is deeply interested in contemporary music and here, he tackles John Cage’s pioneering Sonatas and Interludes, inspired by Indian philosophy. This incredibly evocative music consists of twenty short pieces, in which the piano is prepared with screws, nuts, erasers, and pieces of plastic stuffed between the strings to alter the sound.
First, we hear Gävle-born composer Bo Linde’s Six Character Pieces, written around 1952–53, when Linde had just finished studying composition with Lars-Erik Larsson. And unlike today’s modernistic trend, this music is infused with melodic lightness and elegance. American Henry Cowell’s (1897–1965) lush Three Irish Legends has an entirely different quality. To create these massive sounds – usually with an Impressionistic bent – the soloist must occasionally use their forearms.
