In November 2023, composer, conductor and producer Viktor Orri Árnason and soprano and visual artist Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir released Poems, their collaborative Deutsche Grammophon debut album. Its ten tracks drew on the pair’s shared cultural heritage, setting poems by Icelandic poets past and present, as well as lyrics by Árnason and Guðmundsdóttir themselves.
Now the two artists have returned to the studio to rework five of those tracks for solo piano. The results can be heard on the digital EP Piano Poems.
“Each piece. is a little exploration into themes that often sit quietly within us: the interplay of light and shadow, the tangible meeting the ethereal, and those moments of solitude that speak to a deeper companionship we find in ourselves.”
- Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir
