Viktoria Spans - Íslenzk lög gömul og ný.
Viktoria Spans, mezzo-sopran, sings old Icelandic folk songs on the A side of this record. The songs on the B side are on the other hand all brand new, written by the younger lcelandic composers, and in fact, some of them especially written for Viktoria with this record in mind. So the title on this record is appropriate: Icelandic songs - old and new. Viktona Spans was born in Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. Her Icelandic mother and a Dutch father took her to Holland at a very early age, where she had her schooling and later a conservatory education, the latter which she finished within five years. After that she took singing lessons with Carlo Bino who schooled her voice according to the old-ltalian belcanto method, which he himself had been taught by Tito Schipa, and to which some other well-known singers owe their reputation as well. After that Viktoria became a professional singer and is equally at home singing Bach or Mozart as well as Gershwin or opera and oratorio. In Holland as well as abroad she has performed on the stage and on television and radio. Viktona Spans has made several record for CBS and EMI in Holland, but this is her first record where she sings in Icelandic and also her first record for an Icelandic record company.
