Combining Hildur Gudnadóttir's cello-playing with her own vocals, Saman (“together” in Icelandic) is her fourth solo album, now available on DG. Recorded and produced in Berlin and originally released in 2014, it has a wistful beauty, with resonances both ancient and modern. Hildur’s voice blends so smoothly with her cello that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins, a magical effect that makes Saman a unique and deeply moving album.
