"The Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir is quickly becoming one of the most performed contemporary composers ... I have found her creativity to be of great interest. She has a distinct voice unlike many of her contemporaries and is fortunate to have such reliable interpreters in this outstanding orchestra from Reykjavik ... Her music has often been called atmospheric, meditative and powerful ... Orchestration naturally plays a big role in striking the balance between the materials in the overall structure ... Dorian Sono Luminus have championed Thorvaldsdottir, and this release brings her orchestral works up to date. This is firmly recommended to all who are interested in contemporary music".

"The Iceland Symphony Orchestra under Eva Ollikainen play with high commitment, and sound completely at home in the idiom. The surround sound is very fine. In fact, the Audio Blu-ray is demonstration quality, and the three bass drums will really give any subwoofer a workout ... Everyone curious about what new music can encompass should hear - or should I say encounter - this art. How many living composers could you recognise after a few minutes of blind listening?".

"Thorvaldsdottir is ultimately more concerned with inner than outer forms, and - as conductor Eva Ollikainen and the ISO reveal in this thrilling release - finding an organic unity which stems from the perpetual transformation and refinement of material at often microscopic levels ... In effect, both works demonstrate the inseparability of time and space - and their key lies finally in Thorvaldsdottir's extraordinarily subtle, constantly shifting details of foreground and background".

"Det er elleve år siden Anna Thorvaldsdottir - dengang ung islandsk komponist midt i 30'erne - ud af det blå blev tildelt Nordisk Råds Musikpris for det langsommerlige orkesterværk 'Dreaming'. Siden er hendes store symfoniske stykker blevet spillet mange steder i verden, og hun er i dag Islands mest berømte komponist ... Netop fordi musikken er så astronomisk og abstrakt i sit udtryk, kan der være god idé i at zoome lidt ud og fokusere på helheden ... Her sker det, at musikken kan virke lidt overfladisk og glat. Altså næsten som synthesizermusik fra 1980'erne, der skal leve af at overmande lytteren med storladen klang. Orkestret har nogle helt andre muligheder end det, og jeg kan godt savne, at de 100 musikeres individuelle færdigheder til at forme detaljer i musikken bliver udnyttet".
