Gabríel Ólafs - Lullabies for Piano and Cello (2023) [Hi-Res]

“NO MATTER WHERE YOU’RE FROM, ONE OF THE MOST COMMON MUSICAL MEMORIES IS YOUR MOTHER SINGING LULLABIES TO YOU. HALF OF THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM WERE COMPOSED BY ME, THE REST ARE RECOMPOSED VIKING MELODIES DISCOVERED IN AN OLD BOOKSHOP IN REYKJAVIK. I’M TAKING SOME LIBERTIES, CHANGING A FEW NOTES, AND REHARMONIZING THINGS. I’M BASICALLY FILLING IN THE BLANKS. I CHOSE MELODIES THAT HAVE IMPACTED ICELANDIC CULTURE FOR 1,000 YEARS OR MORE. LULLABIES ARE CORE MUSICAL MEMORIES FOR ALL OF US, AND WITH LULLABIES FOR PIANO AND CELLO I HOPE TO UNLOCK THEM FOR YOU.”
