The billion-click pianist

A PR informs us this morning that the Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson has passed ‘the remarkable landmark of one billion’ streams of his varied programmes. His video of the Goldberg Variations alone has reached over 88 million streams.

In January, Vikingur will give the world premiere of a John Adams concerto in San Francisco, followed by a US resumption of his four-hand tour with Yuja Wang, who cannot match his click-rate.
