About

Kjartan Sveinsson is a founding member of the legendary band Sigur Ros. This release marks the first collaboration between Kjartan and Sono Luminus

Der Klang der Offenbarung des Göttlichen is an “opera” of severe and supreme beauty. This is Der Klang’s first edition on CD.

Der Klang boasts all the qualities we tend to associate with sweeping modern neo-classical – it's beautiful, reflective, sad…Sveinsson has a light touch, but his work hits a deeper and more visceral level, permeating and lingering long after it’s subsided…Whatever he does, he has already quietly announced himself as a major talent.” – Pitchfork

“Sveinsson, in conjunction with co-author Ragnar Kjartansson, has created an opera for the ages…it finds grace in unexpected places, arriving far after the prayers have ended.” – acloserlisten.com

There is such a longing [for beauty] indeed in Sveinsson’s searching score, a meditative sonic canvas for Kjartansson’s exquisite images. Even absent the visual component, Sveinsson’s music summons a hushed awe that makes for a mesmerizing listen on its own.” – WQXR
