New tonebase YouTube on
Hey everyone,
Robert here from the tonebase YouTube, and I'm excited to share the latest video! In this video we spotlight the recent superstar pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, in particular his album "Johann Sebastian Bach". I try to get to the bottom of what makes that album, and Víkingur Ólafsson in general, so appealing in the present day.
This was a super fun video to make – I think it's quite clear that I love Víkingur Ólafsson's Bach album, and I admire his work overall very much. But it seems that this is also a pretty divisive topic, and it's fun to read opinions that differ from my own.
Give it a watch and let me know what you think! And, don't hesitate to let me know what you'd like to see in future YouTube videos!
Thanks all,
Robert

Robert - I happened on this video on You Tube maybe only an hour after you posted it. I enjoyed every minute of what you did here, not merely your great insights into Olaffson’s artistry, but also how you expanded those to broader discussion of artistry itself. Really wonderful and so perceptive — and all delivered in a kind, enthusiastic, never arrogant tone. Loved it and am now looking forward to seeing more from you.
