Reviews : This CD I bought in Keflavík Airport in August 1992 for $ 21.50 and it is not available anymore, even in this 1999 A.C. Classics reissue : http://www.amazon.com/Icelandic-Church-Music-Horthur-Askelsson/dp/B00003GNZM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1211022507&sr=1-6 I was unable to google any reviews but I can tell you that this is absolutely beautiful and emotional music. One can feel the Northern light, the isolation, the transparent atmosphere and the harsh life. They all transpire in the voices and songs. The harmonies themsleves have more than often an ice clear texture, perfectly rendered by the top notch Choir. The severe Icelandic landscapes and the Soul of the Country pervade this poignant and highly spiritual music. T
