About this product
Siggi String Quartet was founded in 2012 during the Young Scandinavian Composers festival in Reykjavik. The quartet has actively collaborated with current composers and commissioned and premiered numerous works by various composers. The quartet's repertoire extends from the renaissance through the classical masters and Siggi String Quartet four members have great passion for 20 and 21th century repertoire. InchExperimenting with sound and texture, improvisation and life electronics is an important part of our work. It does deepen our understanding of the standard repertoire indirectly, and it goes both ways.Inch Playing a late Beethoven parallel to working on Haukur Tómasson Serimonia makes us aim for rhythmical super-precision and working on Mamiko Dís Ragnarsdóttir Fair Flowers after performing the same Beethoven pushed us into the long phrases, picturing endless moss, grey and green and the tiny wild Icelandic flowers in bright violet and yellow. Una Sveinbjarnardóttir´s piece Opacity is more free, the structure is simple and the improvisando feeling is reigning. Daníel Bjarnason wrote Stillshot in 2015. The piece is dreamy and nostalgic and in form resembles a chaconne, where the same chord progression repeats itself throughout. In the middle of the piece there is a retreat from the harmonic structure before it resumes the form until the end. The composer describes the piece as depicting fragmented memories of a noblewoman. The recollections appear abruptly and vanish quickly, some of them distant but others more focused and clear. The title of the piece refers to the early days of photography where people would have to stay still for considerable time so the camera would produce a clear picture.

In the history of Jazz there is several legendary groups with this instrumentation- saxophone, bass and drums are an open, creative, and flexible great fun to play in, and exciting to listen to! It can carry out the music just like a big constellation, but the field is more open for the musicians' musical excursions. This group started with a spontaneous gig in Stockholm. Hans, Oscar and Magnus met at Jazz Club Glenn Miller Café, and almost immediately they found the sound of the group and a natural interplay! Hans Backenroth is one of today's foremost bassists and musicians, and during the last decades he has played all over the world with many top jazz musicians. He was a longtime member of legendary Swedish groups led by Arne Domnerus, Putte Wickman and Kjell Öhman, and he is the first choice when international stars visit Scandinavia. Oscar Johansson-Werre is an award winning young drummer from Uppsala. He has already played with jazz giants like Berndt Rosengren, Nisse Sandström, Jan Allan och Harry Allen. 2010 he won the award Most Valuable Player on the Youth Jazz Festival in Stockholm, and 2017 he got the Ronnie Gardiners Swedish Drummer Deserving Wider Recognition Award.

Antony Hopkins is a phenomenon - a fact which escapes much of the public and even press who still confuse him with the actor (Anthony). Composer, pianist, conductor, broadcaster, lecturer, author a true man of music. A livewire at the age of 91, (as we write in May 2012), his genius has suffered from fickle fashion, his 'serious' music being lyrical and tuneful though certainly deep and complex; his lighter music now seen as 'period' - and just ripe for re-discovery. This double album contains much fine music including eight pieces written by top British composers as tributes to Antony. For all interested in the evolution of 20th century music this album will be invaluable, and it's also made with wit and humor, to suit the character of Hopkins himself.
