    Orphée - Jóhann Jóhannsson

    Album Description

    Jóhann Jóhannsson's Orphée is a mesmerising neoclassical masterpiece that whisks listeners away on a sonic journey. Released on 16 September 2016 via Deutsche Grammophon, this 46-minute album is a testament to Jóhannsson's innovative and evocative compositional style.

    The album's tracklist, comprising 17 pieces, including 'Flight from the City', 'A Song for Europa', and 'Orphic Hymn', showcases Jóhannsson's ability to craft intricate, emotionally charged soundscapes. From the haunting beauty of 'The Drowned World' to the introspective 'A Pile of Dust', each track demonstrates the artist's skill in balancing light and darkness, creating a sense of depth and nuance that draws the listener in.

    Throughout Orphée, Jóhann Jóhannsson's use of neoclassical elements, combined with his unique perspective, results in a work that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The album's themes of hope, despair, and transformation are woven together with a mastery that is characteristic of Jóhannsson's oeuvre, making Orphée an essential listening experience for fans of contemporary classical music.
