Product description

Jóhann Jóhannsson's Orphée is a mesmerising neoclassical masterpiece that whisks listeners away on a sonic journey. Released on 16 September 2016 via Deutsche Grammophon, this 46-minute album is a testament to Jóhannsson's innovative and evocative compositional style.

The album's tracklist, comprising 17 pieces, including 'Flight from the City', 'A Song for Europa', and 'Orphic Hymn', showcases Jóhannsson's ability to craft intricate, emotionally charged soundscapes. From the haunting beauty of 'The Drowned World' to the introspective 'A Pile of Dust', each track demonstrates the artist's skill in balancing light and darkness, creating a sense of depth and nuance that draws the listener in.

Throughout Orphée, Jóhann Jóhannsson's use of neoclassical elements, combined with his unique perspective, results in a work that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The album's themes of hope, despair, and transformation are woven together with a mastery that is characteristic of Jóhannsson's oeuvre, making Orphée an essential listening experience for fans of contemporary classical music.

This LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Sadly Stunning Music
5 out of 5 stars
AlpisoRambrNovember 21, 2025United States🇺🇸
Honestly, this music is just plain sad. And I say that with the utmost respect. The opening track, 'Flight from the city,' is absolutely stunning. It's a world painted in shades of gray, modern and cold, with steel, rain, fog, and sheer beauty.
Vinyl Sound Impressive Despite Noise

My copy has a fair amount of crackles and pops, but the music's sound is absolutely stunning.
Deutsche Grammophon's Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars
vlopqgocAugust 21, 2025United States🇺🇸
Deutsche Grammophon has outdone themselfs with this stunning record. Zero flaws to be found. It's right up their with Mahler and the likes.
Cleaning Fixes Static Issues
5 out of 5 stars
DVPotgAugust 4, 2025United States🇺🇸
The record I have sounds fantastic, with no issues regarding pressing flaws. A lot of the clicks and pops are due to static, and giving it a good clean with a damp cloth often fixes most of them (though not every time).

Can anyone share their thoughts on the audio quality of this vinyl release? I'm considering buying it, but I'm a bit worried about the pressing...
