Víkingur Ólafsson has just completed his world tour with Bach's Goldberg Variations and is already releasing six new interpretations of the composer's music, four of which he arranged himself. He recorded the piano arrangements of Bach's sacred music in Reykjavík's Harpa concert hall in January. Víkingur Ólafsson: "When I play Bach, I am reminded that historical eras in music are notions we superimpose on what is essentially a continuum: an unbroken thread linking us all, a running stream flowing through us – what the Germans, incidentally, call a Bach." Continuum is Víkingur Ólafsson's personal Bach diary, a dialog with Bach's music and an ongoing tribute to his artistry.

Deluxe Version: All tracks of this release have their own black-and-white cover as digital singles. This LP set includes high-quality prints in vinyl format and comes with a 180 g crystal clear vinyl. Additionally, the set includes a signed art card, produced using the silver printing process, in vinyl format.
