Lutzen / Aldubaran

Sunleif Rasmussen: Andalag (Solo and Ensemble Works) Lutzen / Aldubaran

Sunleif Rasmussen (b. 1961) is the undisputed pioneer of Faroese classical music, and this album features some of the Faroe Islands' most talented performers, the New Music ensemble Aldubaran and violist Jakup Lutzen. Recorded in Torshavn, the music they present here pivots on Rasmussen's deft harbouring of momentum and

energy, his gift for transformative textures, and his closeness to the unique musical traditions and landscapes of the Islands themselves - one of the most beautiful, distinctive and naturerich archipelagos on earth.
