Aside from three impressive string quartets, Icelandic composer Jón Leifs’ (1899–1968) chamber music consists of only two original works - Quintet, op. 50, Scherzo concreto, op. 58 - and his string quartet arrangement of his Variazioni pastorale, op. 8, originally for orchestra. + All of these works are included on this disc, which closes with one of the composer’s most personal works: Erfiljóð (Elegies), composed in 1947 shortly after the death by drowning of his young daughter Líf. + BIS Records have re-mastered these original Smekkleysa label recordings for this present release.
