Islandský pianista Víkingur Ólafsson patrí k najuznávanejším interpretom klasickej hudby súčasnosti, preslávený svojím precíznym dotykom a hlboko premyslenými nahrávkami.
Album Opus 109 na dvojvinyle predstavuje tematicky prepojenú kolekciu diel J. S. Bacha, Ludwiga van Beethovena a Franza Schuberta, vybraných podľa spoločnej tonality e mol/E dur. Ústredným bodom nahrávky je Beethovenova Sonáta č. 30 E dur, op. 109, ktorá albumu dáva názov. Popri nej zaznie Bachova Partita č. 6 e mol, BWV 830, predohra z Dobre temperovaného klavíra, Schubertova Sonáta č. 6 e mol, D. 566, či Beethovenova Sonáta č. 27 e mol, op. 90. Program uzatvára Bachova Sarabanda z Francúzskej suity č. 6 E dur.
