冰鋼琴家歐拉夫森是我們這個時代最受樂迷喜愛的古典鋼琴家之一,自從2017年與DG公司簽署獨家合約開始,陸續發行《葛拉斯:鋼琴作品》(2017)、《巴哈鍵盤作品選》(2018)、《德布西與拉摩》(2020)、《莫札特與其時代》(2021),以及《來自遠方》(2022)。每張專輯都受到各界好評,獲獎無數。2019年BBC音樂雜誌年度專輯、2019年留聲機雜誌年度藝術家、2023
年CoScan國際北歐年度人物等。《經濟學人》評論:「歐拉夫森為古典音樂賦予了新生命」、《每日電訊報》:「古典音樂的新巨星」。
2023年歐拉夫森最新專輯帶來鍵盤音樂的代表作之一「巴哈:郭德堡變奏曲」。有著獨到詮釋品味、藝術視野,以及情感交流的特性,歐拉夫森在這幾年受到評論界高度讚揚與認可,擄獲不少樂迷,對於古典音樂的推廣也有不小功勞。
歐拉夫森說:「《郭德堡變奏曲》是有史以來最為精湛的鍵盤音樂之一,包含無數令人讚嘆的對位法、崇高的藝術展現、複雜的內蘊,以及深刻的情感。在30首變奏當中,建立在簡單樸素而優雅的框架之中,將有限的素材轉化為前所未見的萬千變化,我認為巴哈是最偉大的鍵盤作曲家」。
配合專輯發行,歐拉夫森從今年起也展開世界巡演,演出郭德堡變奏曲。倫敦南岸藝術中心、紐約卡內基音樂廳、維也納音樂廳、巴黎愛樂廳等,明年(2024)也將來到台灣演出這套重要鍵盤作品。
