Wallin, Part, Hallgrimsson

Simax Classics presents this album featuring four major works for viola and strings, performed by Lars Anders Tomter and the string orchestra 1B1 under the direction of Jan Bjoranger. The release brings together music by Rolf Wallin, Haflidi Hallgrimsson, and Arvo Part, presenting the viola as an instrument with a singular voice: introspective, warm, and deeply human - a quality that has increasingly drawn contemporary composers to its sound.
