About This Release

Recorded live at Harpa, Reykjavík on 2016-04-01 and issued by Ríkisútvarpið, this program pairs Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy’s impressionism with the luminous modernism of Töru Takemitsu. Birna Hallgrímsdóttir, Melkorka Ólafsdóttir and Katie Buckley join the Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands under Daníel Bjarnason — shimmering string colors, delicate winds and slow, spectral orchestral textures trace a line between early-20th-century impressionism and contemporary classical writing.
