This is the new album by Viktor Olafsson, a hybrid artist of the digital age who is highly acclaimed around the world. This time, the first piece is performed on a grand piano, and the second piece is performed on an upright piano, both featuring the same piece. The beautiful and spacious sound of the grand piano and the warm and gentle sound of the upright piano are each very attractive. Olafsson also expresses the duality of his own introverted and extroverted character through the two types of pianos. The four themes that make up the album are \"Nature,\" \"Hometown,\" \"Childhood,\" and \"Family. Inspired by her encounter with leading Hungarian composer Gerge Kurtág, she selected folk songs from her native Iceland and songs from her childhood memories. The album includes works by Bach, Mozart, Schumann, and Bartók, which his parents taught him as a child and he often played, Brahms' Interludes, which he had recorded when he was an unknown pianist, and three new arrangements by the composer himself. Ades's \"The Branch\" is a world premiere recording.
