Data di uscita: 7 ottobre 2022

Il nuovo album del formidabile pianista islandese, inspirato da un incontro con György Kurtág. Il titolo, che prende spunto dal brano Aus der Ferne, è un tributo al grande compositore ungherese.

Olafsson rivisita alcuni dei suoi primi amori musicali tra cui brani di Bach, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Kaldalóns, Bartók, Birgisson e ovviamente Kurtág. Contiene inoltre la prima registrazione mondiale di The Branch di Thomas Adès.

L’intero repertorio è realizzato attraverso due mondi musicali distinti, ottenuti grazie all'utilizzo di un pianoforte gran coda da concerto e di un verticale.

Versione esclusiva stampata su Doppio Vinile Trasparente.
