Anna Thorvaldsdottir (IS) – “In The Light Of Air”

Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir was recently named a Kravis Emerging Composer by the New York Philharmonic, with the idea of her creating new work for that venerable institution. One listen to the latest recording of In The Light of Air (out on August 28th on Sono Luminus) should give you every reason to be excited about that notion. This spacious, bold work feels like it’s floating across your senses like windswept snow.
