Viddir (live)
) | Label: MPD Catalog: 8224751 Format: COMPACT DISC Bara Gisladottir Skuli Sverrisson Bjorg Brjansdottir Berglind Maria Tomasdottir Dagny Marinosdottir Thuridur JonsdoBára Gísladóttir wrote VÍDDIR to mark the end of her studies at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. The title of the piece translates as ’dimensions’, and from its first sounds of five bass flautists screaming, ‘as strong as possible’, into their instruments, it is clear that VÍDDIR is not a light-hearted leap into a new life. It is a black night of a piece. An abyss, into which Gísladóttir has dived and reached deeply. An unbroken hour in length, it returns again and again to its own dark light.  Price: $24.98 |
