Anna Thorvaldsdottir - Aerial (2014) Hi-Res

The centrepiece of DG’s portrait album is Thorvaldsdóttir’s current signature orchestral work, Aeriality (2011). But across all six pieces here we get varied pictures of the composer’s combination of power and intimacy. The extraordinarily focused ensemble work Ró (2013) offers a microscopic view of the composer’s processes, and Shades of Silence (2012) for a quartet of baroque instruments is a genuine delicacy.
