Some useless text: Ólafur Arnalds is probably the most known of so called modern classical composers. He has immersed himself completely in a world of delicate symphonic compositions generating near weightless orchestral pieces. An important member of Erased Tapes label team, one of the best labels in the world. This sentence quite reflects my excitement about this artist and the modern classical genre itself. "...and they have escaped the weight of darkness" is an outstanding record. I would advice it to every single listener, not depending on his personal taste preferences. Very gentle, intimate melodies, each of them is very touching and goes right through your heart. Very calm and peaceful, but uplifting at the same time, especially the closing track, that sound quite like an anthem of this life. Try this, if you still haven't, don't waste time.
