Islandský pianista Víkingur Ólafsson patří k nejuznávanějším interpretům klasické hudby současnosti, proslulý svými precizními doteky a hluboce promyšlenými nahrávkami.
Album Opus 109 na dvojvinylu představuje tematicky provázanou kolekci děl J. S. Bacha, Ludwiga van Beethovena a Franze Schuberta, vybraných podle společného klíče e moll/E dur. Ústředním bodem nahrávky je Beethovenova Sonáta č. 30 E dur, op. 109, která albu dává název. Vedle ní zazní Bachova Partita č. 6 e moll, BWV 830, předehra z Dobře temperovaného klavíru, Schubertova Sonáta č. 6 e moll, D. 566, i Beethovenova Sonáta č. 27 e moll, op. 90. Program uzavírá Bachova Sarabanda z Francouzské suity č. 6 E dur.
