Sun, May 11, 2025, 15:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson is currently one of the most acclaimed and sought-after pianists in the world. The New York Times coined him ”Iceland's Glenn Gould”, and his recordings are showered with five-star reviews. This season, he is the Artist-in-Residence at Konserthuset Stockholm.Following the success of Bach's Goldberg Variations, which he performed to a full house here at Konserthuset last season, he takes on another of classical music's great B's this season – Beethoven. At this solo recital, we hear Beethoven's late piano sonatas.Beethoven is never predictable, and in his final sonatas, he is reflective and melancholic, ecstatically passionate, humorous, and life-affirming; the music is like a whole life story. ”Beethoven's last three sonatas are a kind of testament”, says Víkingur Ólafsson.

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Víkingur Ólafsson (Piano)

We have often heard from you how vividly our artists in residence and their concerts are remembered - and that we should definitely invite this or that artist again! We have taken this to heart and are launching a new subscription series in the Great Hall. One of the first to confirm is our Artist in Residence 2019/20 - pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, whose sold-out recitals at the Konzerthaus are legendary, be it with works by Bach or Philip Glass. His interpretation of Beethoven's last three piano sonatas will probably be no different - the Icelander has a large fan base in Berlin!
