About

"Ever since playing Hugleiðing (Meditation) by composer Karólína Eiríksdóttir for the first time back in 2006, this Icelandic solo violin music project has been melting in my veins.

"In 2013, John Speight wrote his Soliloquy (tracks 7 and 8) at my request. Two more recent commissions are on the album, both from composers who play the violin: Fragile Stillness by Lilja María Ásmundsdóttir and Aria by Maria Huld Markan.

"Iceland has a long tradition of violin playing and according to folklore every farmer in certain valleys up north was a fiddler. Ea Fantasia (track 4), my own composition, is inspired by the opening track Alia Fantasia by Nicola Matteis Jr. He was the London-born son of the Italian composer Nicola Matteis, who wrote Ayers and Grounds. Nicola Junior was a violinist like his father and lived in Vienna, where he composed numerous ballets for the imperial opera. His bariolage (arpeggios over four strings) remind me of the opening of Fratres by Arvo Pärt and Bach's Chaconne - key works in the violin repertoire - both of which have been a great inspiration to me."
- Una Sveinbjarnardóttir
