Orchestra: Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Audio CD (October 1, 1999). I first heard about Leifs on an NPR (National Public Radio) feature, and the mention of Hekla caught my intrest. An orchestral interpretation of a volcanic eruption, by an Islandic composer whose knowledge should be firsthand? 26 percussion instruments? I was camped out south of Packwood, Washington, May 18, 1980, and Mt. St. Helens' eruption is seared into my psyche. Hekla celebrates the moment. All the other works have Western European roots, as does Hekla, but with a raw Nordic, elemental twist.
