About
According to tradition Norwegian Ingólfr Arnarson was the first Nordic settler in Iceland, founding Reykjavík in 874. In the 20th century a statue of Arnarson was raised in Reykjavík and a copy put up in Rivedal, his home village on the Norwegian west coast. The two statues, facing towards each other across the sea, provided a conceptual starting point for Rímur, Trio Mediaeval’s seventh ECM recording.
What music did Arnarson hear in Rivedal? What songs did the Vikings bring with them to Iceland, and what music was new to their ears? These are among the questions pondered here. Joined by trumpeter Arve Henriksen, Trio Mediaeval presents a unique programme in which mediaeval and traditional music from Iceland and Norway and improvisation are integrated.
Rímur was recorded in February 2016 at Munich’s Himmelfahrtskirche, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
