Jóhann Jóhannsson presents Orphée
Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-, BAFTA- and Grammy-nominated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson’s first album for Deutsche Grammophon is a meditation on beauty and the process of creation.
Orphée traces a path from darkness into light, inspired by the various re-tellings of the ancient tale of the poet Orpheus, from Ovid’s to Jean Cocteau’s. A many-layered story about death, rebirth, change and the ephemeral nature of memory, the myth can also be read as a metaphor for artistic creation, dealing with the elusive nature of beauty and its relationship to the artist, as well as the idea that art is created through transgression - by the poet defying the gods who have forbidden him to turn back towards his beloved as he leaves the Underworld.
Orphée’s sonic palette is varied, combining acoustic instruments both solo and in ensemble with electronics and the mesmeric sounds of shortwave radio “numbers stations”. It draws on many facets of his previous albums, incorporating music for solo cello, organ, string quartet, string orchestra and unaccompanied voices.
Orphée shows the full range of the Icelandic composer’s remarkable invention and uncanny feeling for atmosphere. The music of the entire album is tied together structurally by recurring harmonic and melodic elements, yet each track sounds fresh, evocative and unique. Orphée reconciles ambitious orchestral and vocal writing with influences ranging from the Baroque to minimalism and electronic music. Also influenced by film composers Bernard Herrmann, Ennio Morricone and Michael Nyman (all prolific writers, like Jóhann himself, of concert music as well as film scores), Jóhannsson is a contemporary exponent of a tradition that was shaped by composers such as Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Walton or Korngold.
“Orphée is for me about changes: about moving to a new city, leaving behind an old life in Copenhagen and building a new one in Berlin - about the death of old relationships and the birth of new ones,” explains Jóhann. “Perhaps this is one of the reasons I was drawn to the Orpheus myth, which is fundamentally about change, mutability, death, rebirth, the elusive nature of beauty and its sometimes thorny relation to the artist. This album, my first solo record for six years, is an oblique reflection on personal change.”
Orphée is a haunting and atmospheric musical journey, crowned by the sublime Orphic Hymn - a setting of Ovid’s text performed by Paul Hillier’s Theatre of Voices. The album is a reflection on change, memory, beauty and art, and ultimately celebrates the latter’s power of renewal, while acknowledging the dark paths along which it can lead the artist. “Making Orphée has been a true labour of love, one that has been a part of my life for six years, and yet the music always remained fresh - it was constantly in a state of flux and renewal,” its composer concludes.
His music is a reflection of his home/country. Such vastness and beauty all at the same time can engulf one with intense emotions. RIP
This makes my soul ache...such profound loss with Johann's passing. It's been several years but I cannot get it out of my head, particularly when his music was my own wellspring for cathartic release. Luckily, we still have Olafur Arnalds, Max Richter, and Hans Zimmer, but what talent. Those four gentlemen are/were the Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, and Beethoven of our generation.
Musica Perfecta música del Cosmos mudica de las Esferas música de un Nivel fuera de este Mundo música del Alma y Para una Humanidad de Paz y Bondad Dios que maravilla de esta Música 🎶 🙏
Дякую тобі Йогане. Ти будеш жити в наших сердцях.
Rest In Peace Johann Johannsson... the world has lost a truly amazing composer. Such sadness xx
DJ Em - DiY 💔
Jóhann Jóhannsson, you will be greatly missed.
he already is.
The beautiful things he created will live on.
Along with max Richter and Hans Zimmer, these three composers spiked my interest in neo classical music. I'd say Johan was my favorite however. Theres such a deep feeling if melancholy and beauty in his music that really tears at your soul.
and also Olafur Arnalds belongs to this list. All of them are great composers and musicians. Johann Johannsson leaves a big gap✨
Same goes for me!
RIP Johann, one of the best musicians ever. 😭😭😭
Seine Musik ist Einzigartig und wird mich den Rest meines Lebens begleiten. Gerne hätte ich ihn mal live gehört. Durch den Film The arrival wurde ich auf JJ aufmerksam. Meine Tochter ist 3 Jahre und hört deine Musik genauso gern wie ich
Llevo escuchando canciones de este artista por mucho tiempo y duele el saber y enterarme apenas que este compositor que para mi es el mejor, ya no se encuentra con nosotros. No creo que algún día exista alguien mejor que el, la mejor música que de verdad te pone a reflexionar es de el.
His touch and expression are beyond feeling, it is life itself-recorded
One robs thy soul of the animalistic hunger,for Beauty in a world gone mad...Such a hunger may only be satisfied....Through the depths of Johansson,Bach Beethoven..and the like.
R. I. P. great composer! !
I love him, I love this man
magnifique ,important , indispensable
Nostalgic, truthfull and pure sound of his extrordinary works will always be - and that is fortunate. Rest in peace JJ
I learn from you that JJ sadly passed away. I wanted to listen his masterpiece and now I'm even more sad. RIP dear one.
Sublime ! Comme le mouvement de la vie, une palpitation légère .........
Favorite musician right here, hands down.
sublime!
Nada como está música, música para la vida, música para la eternidad💕
RIP Maestro JJ

Not sure who Johan Jonnsson is, but this music is Johann Johannsson's.
Osmose
Face dessus l'espace
Rien
Tout
Ferveur en marche
Jamais on ne se baigne deux fois dans la même personne!
"Je" est toujours un autre...
Illumination dans la nuit noire
Nuit au cœur de la lumière
Juste le temps de te dire "Je t'aime"
Juste le temps de vivre... éternellement
Juste le temps de faire pièce à la mort
C'est tout: ce presque rien d'exister...
Osmose
REP (Tu es éternel Johann Johannsson, merci d'exister.)
Osmosis
Facing space
Nothing
Everything
Fervor in motion
We never bathe twice in the same person!
"I" is always another...
Illumination in the dark night
Night in the heart of light
Just time to tell you "I love you"
Just time to live ... forever
Just enough time to put death to death
That's it: it almost nothing to exist ...
Osmosis
RIP (You are eternal Johann Johannsson, thank you for existing.)
cudowne ... dziękuję -...
RIP
a genius brought me here.
Good night, day sounds similar with the score in the last match in borg vs mcenroe movie.
I’m doing a line in memory of you!
Hey !
Thanks for indicating the tracklist. But I'd like to know the specific name of the music which has such a vibrant melody, around 5min15 ?
Thanks in advance for ANY help :)
What you hear in this video is actually 2 songs. From the tracklist this concerns 13. Good Morning, Midnight & 14. Good Night, Day. Good night day is the song you refer to, and it starts at 3:18 and runs till the end.
where did you take this footage from?
Rejoice
🖤😰
Can anyone tell me where the images come from? They have an unsettling similiarity to Solaris...
I think Solaris i can't remember the years but its the 60s or 70s for sure not the 2002 one with George Clooney. What movies do you like?
why did you die??? you are a magnificent Soul

Polluted water @lemedia
Is that the sun?
Looks like oil in water.
what is the cause of his death?
Drugs overdose
So sad.
RIP
