Acclaimed Icelandic composer Gabríel Ólafs has released his new body of work, Lullabies for Piano and Cello, through Decca Records US.

The prolific composer’s international reputation has been growing since his 2019 album Absent Minded. The new ten-track set is inspired by an 1880 collection of melodies that Gabríel unearthed at an antique bookshop in his home city of Reykjavik. On the original composition “Fantasia,” he is accompanied by his close friend and collaborator, cellist Steiney Sigurðardóttir, on a song that exemplifies the essence of the stripped-back album, with a simple piano motif playfully ebbing and flowing amidst moments of airy cello.

This Deluxe Edition features 9 all-new bonus tracks!
