Last two Sundays the Icelandic Radio has been broadcasting their recordings from the wonderful Reykholt festival where I sang at all four concerts this last July. The first concert I sang a bunch of crazy arias, and the second Programm was Icelandic and Russian songs. Click here for the aria conert and here for the Lied Program. Enjoy!
