  • Great Record Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    Raúl FaureNovember 14, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I've got a great copy as well. The sound is crisp and quiet. It's a well-made record.

  • Well-Pressed Record Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    Austin BrouwerDecember 31, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This record is incredibly well-pressed, which is a huge relief since it has numerous soft passages that would be ruined by any cracks or pops. Fortunately, there's hardly any surface noise, so the quiet parts are genuinely enjoyable.

  • Vinyl Sounds Superior

    5 out of 5 stars
    Irene TanakaDecember 8, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Incredible pressing, just fantastic. Sounds spot on and so much richer than the digital version. Great job. If you're a fan of this recording, you gotta check it out on vinyl. Huge difference, and it's way better.

  • Heart-Wrenching Horns

    5 out of 5 stars
    Rui KellyOctober 6, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Perhaps his toughest piece to revisit post his passing. It's heart-wrenching yet uplifting. I feel like weeping as the horns wail.

  • Johannsson's Organ Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Willow MorelJune 7, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Having learned about the creation of this recording, it's clear to see why Johannsson's vision for the music deserves admiration. By employing two organs in Reykjavik's Hallgrimskirkja, one positioned at the rear and the other at the front, he aimed to envelop listeners in a sound that's potent yet not overwhelming. To truly appreciate this music, you need to give it your full attention, sitting quietly and doing nothing else. It's an incredibly fulfilling experience. Deutsche Grammophon has outdone themselves with this release; my copy is utterly pristine and sounds incredible. I only wish I could've attended the 2003 concert, which was reportedly the most unforgettable musical event of the year; I can certainly see why.

Product description

This is a 2019 Reissue released as a 2LP set.

Jóhann Jóhannsson's "Virðulegu Forsetar," released in 2004, is a monumental work in the neoclassical genre, showcasing the Icelandic composer's unique ability to blend ambient textures with classical instrumentation. This album, originally issued by Touch Music, is a single, hour-long composition divided into four parts, featuring an ensemble of 11 brass players, percussion, electronics, organs, and piano. The intricate layering of these elements creates a rich, immersive soundscape that is both haunting and uplifting.

"Virðulegu Forsetar," which translates to "Honorable Presidents," is a testament to Jóhannsson's mastery of juxtaposition. Throughout the album, a single phrase is repeated and transformed, evolving over the course of the hour-long piece. This repetitive motif, combined with the interplay of brass, percussion, and electronic elements, results in a composition that is both familiar and constantly surprising.

The album's structure is meticulously crafted, with each part building upon the last to create a cohesive whole. Despite its length, "Virðulegu Forsetar" maintains a sense of momentum and direction, drawing the listener in and holding their attention throughout. The use of brass instruments is particularly noteworthy, with their warm, resonant tones providing a stark contrast to the cooler, more synthetic sounds of the electronics.

"Virðulegu Forsetar" is a significant work in Jóhannsson's discography, following his debut album "Englabörn" and solidifying his status as a leading figure in the neoclassical genre. The album's unique blend of classical and electronic elements, as well as its innovative use of repetition and juxtaposition, make it a standout release that continues to resonate with listeners today. Whether you're a fan of classical music, ambient electronics, or simply appreciate beautifully crafted soundscapes, "Virðulegu Forsetar" is an album that demands your attention.
