In this second part of his extended conversation with Brian Levine, acclaimed Icelandic pianist, Víkingur Ólafsson, discusses a variety of topics related to his craft and passion for music. He discusses the polarizing effect of Glenn Gould and how his influence has inspired Ólafsson's own interpretation and performance of music. Ólafsson also questions the idea of so-called 'classical' music, arguing that the term could be removed altogether, as music is not bound by time or specific periods. He reveals insights into his creative process and how he prepares for recorded sessions and live concerts, emphasizing the importance of fine-tuning dynamics and maintaining unpredictability.
