Sunleif Rasmussen: Songs of Solitude

24 FLAC Discount

From simple ingredients, Sunleif Rasmussen’s music explores varied perspectives on familiar themes and objects while breathing the harsh, wet and blustery air of the composer’s native Faroe Islands. This recording charts the composer’s recent relationship with the acclaimed vocal consort Theatre of Voices, from the atmospheric underworld of his Songs of Solitude and Night to the cantata Klar op vort mod, lys for vor fod (‘Stoke our courage, light our feet’) in whose reflection on grief and loss brings with it strong feelings of a community bound together in love.
