Anna Þorvaldsdóttir is on a heck of a run. There's an in-depth interview with her in The Guardian that includes this passage: "Over the past 15 years, Anna Thorvaldsdottir has established herself as a leading voice in contemporary music. Although her back catalogue is large and varied, it’s her orchestral works that have generated the most excitement and that form the core of her output. [...] In a world where orchestral music on the largest scale is still an overwhelmingly male-authored affair, the 45-year-old’s commitment to vast symphonic forces is all the more striking. Her compositions attract a particular kind of awed rhetoric: “glacial movement”, “slowly shifting masses of sound”, “humbling vastness”."
