The last concert in a cycle of three was dedicated to the works of Icelandic composers. Arto Piano Trio performed two little known compositions: Andad á Sofinn Streng by Jon Nordal oraz and Trio in E minor by Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson.
Jon Nordal contributed a lot to Icelandic music as a composer, pianist, teacher, and director of the Reykjavik College of Music during 1957- 1992. Andad á Sofinn Streng is a piece written by the end of the 20th century (1988) in which the composer wonderfully operates with color and sound marks in a peaceful, dreamy climate, with a tempestuous middle part.
Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson is a composer from the Romanticism era, most recognized for his authorship of Lofsöngur– a song that has become Iceland’s national hymn. Trio in E minor is a four-part work with a classic construction, in a style close to Mendelssohn, with an extensive piano part and lyrical themes intertwined with virtuoso passages.
