Icelandic born pianist Vikingur Olafsson has not yet made his Pittsburgh debut but he says he hopes to soon. He noticed the reviews of the recent tour by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and he's a Manfred Honeck fan. This season he will play in New York and Berlin having recorded seven highly praised CDs for the Deutsche Grammophon label. He speaks with Jim Cunningham about his recent visit to Fallingwater and the new disc which is actually two cds recorded on a grand piano and the same program on an upright instrument. Vikingur speaks about his admiration for the 96 year old Gyorgy Kurtag with whom he recently spent an inspirational day. Several of Kurtag's piano pieces are included on the new set along with Schumann, Bach, Icelandic folksongs and Bartok. Does he prefer the volcanic terrain of his native country to the uptown streets of Manhattan where he earned his masters degree at Juilliard? Both are who he is! Did his parents call him Vik? Check out this conversation from his home in Iceland by Zoom.
