This item not eligible for any further discount offers!
Mari Samuelsen's latest Deutsche Grammophon album explores the phenomenon on which so much of life on earth depends. Lys - Norwegian for "Light" - presents music by thirteen female composers, from Hildegard of Bingen to Hildur Guðnadóttir, combining specially commissioned works with new arrangements of existing pieces. The fourteen tracks are woven together to create a meditation in sound on something so fundamental that it is often taken for granted. The Norwegian violinist's eclectic program moves through light's infinitely subtle qualities to reveal a musical world of boundless shades of emotion and expression.
