Asgeirsson, J :: Fjorleikur [Wind Quintet No. 2]
Jon Asgeirsson presents Fjorleikur [Wind Quintet No. 2], for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon.
’Asgeirsson could be considered a kind of Icelandic Bartok; he has extensively gathered folk music of his country, and the sound of that music has helped shape his own compositional voice, either explicitly or in more subtle ways. Though showing this influence, the Wind Quintet No. 2 is a more abstract work, with a Hindemithian astringency and reliance on contrapuntal devices; in fact, there are moments where the piece brings Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik for wind quintet distinctly to mind. Asgeirsson's music is firmly rooted in a kind of early twentieth century Germanic and Middle European sensibility that keeps it from having a particularly strong individual voice, although within the framework the composer has carved out it works well.’
- Stephen Eddins, ALLMUSIC
