SeriesÓlafur Arnalds: Series 2

Lose yourself in musical memories feat. Dustin O’Halloran

Ultimate Calm

Available for 320 days

Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another unique musical journey that seeks to find that all too elusive feeling of calm. Prepare your rose-tinted glasses for this episode, as Ólafur leans into nostalgia with a selection of reminiscent music. He reflects on the power that music has to transport you to the past, and plays sentimental songs from Vangelis, Yiruma and Mette Henriette. Plus, the Oscar-nominated American composer and pianist Dustin O’Halloran selects his sonic safe haven - the piece of music that brings him ultimate calm. Dustin takes us down memory lane with a record that he always returns to as an escape. Produced by Katie Callin A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds
