GEIRÞRÚÐUR ANNA GUÐMUNDSDÓTTIR
PRESS
“Geirþrúður Anna’s tone was rich and lush ... Her superb performance of the introductory Adagio was highly nuanced. The same can be said of the Allegro, and Geirþrúður Anna’s playing showed beyond doubt that the cello, which perhaps resembles the human voice more closely than any other instrument, offers an endless palette of colors.
... the interpretation was extraordinarily musical, and Geirþrúður Anna’s tone production was marvelous, both in highly sensitive entrances and in more fiery and intense sections."
Magnús Lyngdal Magnússon, Morgunblaðið, Reykjavik
"These young players, all graduates of the Juilliard School or the Manhattan School of Music, showed remarkable maturity in a short, two-work performance"
M. L. Rantala, Hyde Park Herald, Chicago
"Her tone production was exquisite, the runs clear and chiseled, her bow technique impeccable. But that wasn’t all. Geirþrúður played from the heart, her interpretation packed with emotion. She took risks, and she made no compromises. Her playing was agile and passionate, the flow convincing, her interpretation full of musical insight. The minutest gestures were exquisitely shaped, yet the structural lines were clear. If Geirþrúður had been in Bach’s orchestra, he surely would have praised her to the skies."
Jónas Sen, Fréttablaðið, Reykjavik
"Both [works] were exceptionally dramatic, featuring strong contrasts, unbridled and honest. It was an awe-inspiring experience."
