The second Symphony of the prize-winning Faroese composer Sunleif Rasmussen (b. 1961) is composed as a life cycle based on the Old Norse myth of the tree of life, Yggdrasil, and carries the title 'The Earth Anew'. Inspired by natural phenomena and Faroese melodies, Rasmussen is a great believer in a shared Nordic identity, and this world premiere recording witnesses his strong artistic partnership with Finnish conductor John Storgards and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. World renowned vocalists Cyndia Sieden and Bo Skovhus carry the feature roles in this work.
