About Eitt dýpi av dýrari tíð / A Chasm of Precious Time

The late Jens Pauli Heinesen, who is considered to be one of the most prominent writers in the Faroe Islands, was celebrated last year in connection with his 90th birthday on November 12th, 2022, with a great honor event / concert in the Nordic House in Tórshavn. The focus was on six of his poems that Elin Brimheim Heinesen, his daughter has set music to. Magnificent symphonic music has been arranged for the six compositions which were performed at the tribute concert by the Faroe Islands Symphony Orchestra, the choirs Tarira and Tórshavn’s Male Choir with Elin as vocal soloist. Studio recordings of the musical works are now finally being released on an album – both on CD and on vinyl, in addition to digital platforms on the web.

The album will be made available on digital streaming platforms and CD on it’s release day, followed by an LP later this year, available to pre-order now.
