The choir's rich

yet clear sonority

and firm yet delicate

expressiveness

made the strongest

possible impression.

ICE LAND: The Eternal Music

 

The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge are delighted to announce the release of their latest album of Icelandic choral music with Carolyn Sampson, soprano, The Dmitri Ensemble and Graham Ross on harmonia mundi international.

 

Icelandic music of the last half century is the focus of this recording led by conductor, Graham Ross. Born from his close collaboration with the native composers of the “Land of Fire and Ice,” this programme sets out to explore and highlight their hypnotic soundworld, instinctively leaning towards contemplation. A prime example is the touchingly beautiful Requiem by Sigurður Sævarsson, which here receives its world premiere recording.
