Vikingur Olafsson has been widely praised for his crystalline interpretations of Bach's keyboard music and in his Proms debut the Icelandic pianist charmed the audience at the Royal Albert Hall with Bach's Concerto in F minor, BWV 1056. This is the first movement with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Paavo Jarvi. [Image: Vikingur Olafsson at the 2021 BBC Proms. Credit: Mark Allan/BBC]
