Is classical music the music of men who died centuries ago? Or can music classified as electronic by a popular music source also be described as classical? You be the judge when you listen to the two pieces from 2008 by Jóhann Jóhannsson.
As usual, birthdays and anniversaries provide a varied programme and there’s a sense of renewal with themes of awakening, dawn and spring.
