Acclaim for Icelandic composers.

Icelandic composers received acclaim at the International Symposium of Composers in Paris which ended this weekend. The National Radio One had selected two pieces which were both included on the list of the top ten most interesting pieces.

These were Flecte Lapis II for clarinet and organ by Atli Ingólfsson, and Equilibrium IV:Windbells composed by Hugi Guðmundsson for the Caput group. Sixty works from thirty countries competed at the symposium, and Guðmundsson's piece was also nominated as one of the three most interesting works by a composer under the age of thirty.
