The Faroese composer Sunleif Rasmussen (b. 1961) let's the melodies of national songs become the musical DNA in powerful sound-evocations of nature; either as a basis for ingenious constructions of great sensuality, or so that anyone in the North Atlantic islands can hum along. Interpreted by members of Lapland Chamber Orchestra under the baton of John Storgards, Rasmussen's music is in strong fellow Nordic hands on this recording.
