Víkingur's debut album “Philipp Glass: Piano Works”, released by Deutsche Grammophon 7 years ago, was the cornerstone of a remarkable international career and marked a promising start to his collaboration with the label. On the occasion of the 80th birthday of the composer Philip Glass, Ólafsson presented a selection of his solo piano etudes. “Music is a place that is as real as any place you've ever been,” Philip Glass once said. With his music, he manages to transcend space and time, making new dimensions tangible. Hardly anyone could have brought this to life more intensely than Víkingur Ólafsson, the exceptionally perceptive Icelandic artist.

In celebration of his successful career, a 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl edition of his debut album “Philip Glass: Piano Works” is now available for the first time in the DG Store.
