'Reflections' features 'reworkings' by Olafsson and other contemporary artists alongside several of the Icelandic pianist's unreleased Debussy recordings. Víkingur Olafsson's remarkable originality and powerful musical conviction have seen him become one of the most sought-after artists of today. The global success of 'Debussy Rameau' follows that of his award-winning 'Johann Sebastian Bach' album and its sister release, 'Bach Reworks', featuring reimaginings by such diverse artists as Peter Gregson, Hildur Gu-nadóttir, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Skúli Sverrisson. The same thread of inspiration runs through this release, as alafsson and his fellow composers celebrate the work of two French masters and translate their musical languages into a contemporary idiom.
