Performing Bach’s music is the only constant in my life,” says Ólafsson. Having played Bach every day for over 30 years, this dialogue with Bach has been carried forward from the highly acclaimed 2024 album *Continuum* to this *Continuum II*. The album features Bach’s original keyboard works alongside new arrangements and transcriptions by Olafsson himself. Of particular note is the newly arranged masterpiece “Air on the G String,” included in two versions: one for grand piano and one for upright piano. This is also the first album recorded entirely at “The Nutshell,” the home studio Olafsson recently established in Iceland.\n\n“When I play Bach, I realize that the periodizations in music history are merely concepts we’ve applied retroactively to what is, in essence, a single, unbroken continuum. It is a single, unbroken thread that connects us all, a stream that flows continuously within us. Incidentally, the Germans call it ‘Bach’ (little stream).” (Vikingslé Ólafsson)\n\n*Mint pack packaging\nUniversal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dg Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419248255265,"sku":"28948693276","price":290.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/28948693276.jpg?v=1788227584","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-se\/products\/28948693276","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
