This album is the first Dacapo release with a purely Icelandic repertoire, presenting accordion works written between 1972 and 2020.
The works on the album include both solo accordion works and ensemble works, which demonstrates the full technical possibilities and great variation in expression of the instrument.
It was not until the late 20th century that Icelandic composers began writing music for the accordion. But in recent years, Iceland has produced several outstanding accordionists, including Jónas Ásgeir Ásgeirsson.
Two works on the album are composed for Ásgeirsson Ásgeirsson; Fridrik Margrétar-Gudmundsen’s Fikta for solo accordion and Finnur Karlsson’s Accordion Concerto, which won the Icelandic Music Award for Composition of the Year in 2021.
The album also includes the solo work Radioflakes by Atli Ingólfsson, a highly demanding work exploring the full expressive potential of the accordion.
