Reflections: Exclusive Crystal Clear Vinyl 2LP

Deutsche Grammophon is proud to present an exclusive crystal clear 2LP vinyl limited fan edition of Vkingur lafssons Reflections available for pre-order now and slated for release on 12 March 2021. Vkingurs most recent album for Deutsche Grammophon Debussy Rameau shot to the top of the US and UK classical charts and high into Germanys pop charts when it was released earlier this year. Now, he announces Reflections, a new album featuring reworkings by lafsson and other contemporary artists – alongside several of the Icelandic pianists unreleased Debussy recordings.

Vkingur lafssons remarkable originality and powerful musical conviction have seen him, in just a few years, take the music world by storm to 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 Gunadttir, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Skli Sverrisson. The same thread of inspiration runs through this release, Reflections, as lafsson and his fellow composers celebrate the work of two French masters and translate their musical languages into a contemporary idiom.
