Víkingur Ólafsson - Mozart: Ave verum corpus, K. 618 (Transcr. Liszt for Solo Piano)

Listen to Víkingur Ólafsson's new album 'Mozart & Contemporaries': dg.lnk.to/olaf...
On this new album Ólafsson presents some of his favourite Mozart keyboard works in the company of pieces by a selection of the composer’s contemporaries.
These contemporaries included C.P.E Bach, Haydn, Galuppi and Domenico Cimarosa, the composer of this particular track. “Perhaps all four provide a chance to calibrate the contemporary ear towards the prevailing ideas, styles and tastes of the times”, comments Ólafsson. “It is my hope that this particular context, a mix of the celebrated and the obscure, can slightly alter our psychological attunement, removing some of the baggage we all bring with us to Mozart’s music. This is in any case what I set out to do for myself: to approach even the best-known works of Mozart with the same freedom and childlike enthusiasm I felt upon discovering the rare and staggeringly lyrical works from the likes of Galuppi and Cimarosa.”

What's your favourite recording by Víkingur Ólafsson?

[@debs4mysweetbaby]

I'm super excited!! Will be watching the premiere from New York!!❤️

[@stuartwatson]

What do you think the camera work/video editing contribute to this performance?

[@SuperThalberg]

Bach Organ Sonata No. 4 Andante

[@JEP177777]

This is a great recital album. Hard to say, but the Debussy/Rameau recording is really good.

The Arts and The Hours.

[@benedicta8330]

His music is poetic.

[@KimMyeongJu-pr9ro]

He knows the depth and character of the piano keys one by one very well. And he is also a genius at understanding the space of sounds that piano strings echoes. His playing is very accurate and delicate enough to mesmerize. Also, the inspiration in my brain brings out a new world like looking at page by page. There is something new world on that page. I would like to purchase a CD of his piano playing.🥰👍

[@HG23456]

Very very well said my friend 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💯

Thank M. Kim! In reading your comment, it was like you read my mind! This music is celestial 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@staffanolofsson8201]

This is three minutes and twenty minutes in heaven, more or less. "Ave verum corpus" played by Vikingur Ólafsson I experienced yesterday, 2022-08-28, in Berwald Hall, Stockholm, Sweden, in his Mozart program. Let me just say that I am a bit overwhelmed...

[@RacingMachine]

I do agree my friend, this is the most beautiful of all Mozart's pieces in my opinion, and such an inspiration may have only came from god himself. Furthermore, mr Vikingur has improved such a piece even further with this piano arrangement, i have no words to describe it but pure bliss. Luckly i am playing the piano now and just recently purchased his music sheet from this piece and soon i will be able to perform it, i cannot wait.

[@wagnerpolveiro]

Thanks, "Deutsche Grammophon", for the post, this is a delightful gift.

[@elenachatzigiorgaki7134]

Just watching him getting lost in that music...Brilliant 👏💙

[@pablolie]

breathtakingly beautiful. Vikingur... does it yet again.

"Ave verum corpus", this is so deeply beautiful, I love Mozart and I love you my dear Víkingur, what a fantastic performance. Thank you so much for sharing.

Solamente lo conocía cantado,yo lo cante con mi coro, es bellísimo, como rezar

👋👋👋🙏🎹

[@chanhnguyen2215]

Very nice. Is it Mozart ? I am really surprised. Thank you.

[@andrewhicks8340]

Mozart wrote it for choir; Liszt made this transcription for piano. The original is very beautiful, and the transcription is equally perfect. So is the playing of it here.

[@litoboy5]

COOL

Désolée j'aime ce pianiste mais la c'est à peine si je reconnais ave verum...ce n'est pas Mozart et sa religiosité

[@soavemusica]

Liszt, too much ornamentions affects credibility.

[@mauritiusdunfagel9473]

Liszt ruined everything he touched!

[@LeifD958]

@@mauritiusdunfagel9473 Liszt touched everything. And everything Liszt touched became gold. The Liszt transcriptions of the Beethoven Symphonies became even more beautiful and distinctive than the original symphonies. He even transcribed bad works by less good composers, and made them into good music. Liszt always lend a good amount of musicality into his transcriptions.

[@Caroline1261]

He is an amazing pianist! Never heard this version of Mozart before, very beautiful. I love Mr.Ólafsson's Bach

[@brucekuehn4031]

You can have the showboat pianists. This is music for listening. His sensitive touch is so right for this!

[@brucekuehn4031]

Sure, but also over-wringing if you know what I mean. Squeezing every drip out or exaggerating to such an extent that it almost becomes parody. I’m not a pianist myself, but with VO (as he does here), I feel like I get the true colors of the composition.

[@한영자-b2x]

I like his colorful sound, expecially his Bach and Mozart music.

[@bertybell4781]

So lovely. My favorite pianist. Can't wait to see more.

Have heard it week ago live in Berlin. I'll never forget this concert. Thank You for your music.

Mi piace tantissimo il timbro che Vikingur riesce a dare ad ogni sua esecuzione. Chiaro e pulito, cristallino ma allo stesso tempo pieno e profondo. Molto molto bravo.

[@NS-us4hg]

So lovely ! 👍❤️ Amazing interprétation 👏👏 Bravo

Unmistakably recognizable touch Vikingur Olafsson has. He's become my #1 now. Great pianist indeed.

[@jurgenthusing9414]

Überirdisch

[@cozicozi_3157]

I have always thought Mozart was beautiful, but the Mozart he plays reflects exceptional beauty and clarity. A beautiful sound should be given to his playing! It is simply wonderful.
