Caput umfjöllunHolland Festival Concert, June 16th 2001: Review (Dutch)

Guy S. Rickards (about Guðrún´s 4th Song), Gramophone:
Captured beatitully on this recording this performance sounds as near perfect as one could imagine. Very strongly recommended.

Hilary Finch, BBC Music Magazine:
His (Tómasson´s) striking new dramatic song cycle Guðrún´s 4th Song is performed in this fine world premiere recording by Iceland´s leading contemporary music ensemble, CAPUT. Performance:

Berlinske Tidende, Copenhagen:
"Powerplay" from the beginning to the end: The two Icelandic pieces by Másson and Tómasson together with Magnus Lindberg´s piece were played with such expressive energy and technical security that only few ensembles worldwide could imitate.

Politiken, Copenhagen:
Roaring Energi: The Icelanders played with virtuosity, intensity, with strong colours. They gave the music body and life.

Anders Bayer, Nordic Sound:
CAPUT ensemble lives up to its reputation as one of the best ensembles in our latitudes when it comes to the performance of contemporary music. It is sheer pleasure to hear these musicianc conjure up new sounds.

Ríkarður Pálsson, Nordic Sound
There may be only two kinds of contemporary music. The usual kind - and the kind performed by CAPUT when they really let their hair down.
