REYKJAVIK ICELAND
An exotic land of Vikings and hot springs,
Iceland is also pretty hip. They regularly
get celebrities dipping in the thermal spring
waters of the Blue Lagoon and there's a
pretty happening night life. Check out this
WanderWith video, which is also available at
TurnHere.com.

| Elves - Iceland |
 |
June 2004
Iceland may have one of the smallest
populations in Europe but it's also home to
thousands of 'hidden people' -- elves and
fairies
Between the rocks, fjords and valleys hides
Iceland's 'hidden people'. In Iceland,
fairies, elves and trolls triumph over
scepticism. Fearful of reprisals -- or just a
bit of elfish mischief, ministers were
recently forced to back down on a road
building project over elf territory. Foolish
is he who fears not the wrath of a displaced
elf.

A slideshow of some of my favourite photos of
my favourite place in the world. None of the
photos were taken by me but I just think that
they are beautiful. The music playing is Ba
Ba by Sigur Ros.

In 1952, when he was eleven years old, the
Dutch pianist Alwin Bär became a pupil of
the well-known composer and pianist Hans
Osieck. Later he studied with Piet Vincent,
Willem Andriessen and Ton Hartsuiker
(contemporary repertoire) in the Netherlands,
and abroad with Eduardo del Pueyo, Vlado
Perlemuter ( who studied with Ravel), Géza
Anda, and Andor Foldes. In 1967 Alwin Bär
also took the degree of MA in musicology at
Amsterdam University. Alwin Bär made his
début with orchestra in 1962, playing
Chopin's First Piano Concerto. It was the
beginning of an international career. He
played with the internationally famous Dutch
orchestras: the Royal Concertgebouw
Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, and
the Residentie Orchestra (The Hague), and
many other important ensembles, with such
conductors as Bernard Haitink, Edo de Waart,
Jean Fournet, Kobayashi, and others. In 1975
he was awarded the First Price at the
International Arnold Schoenberg Competition
in Rotterdam. The competitors had to master
all of Schoenberg's piano compositions, which
again shows Alwin Bär's versatility. Alwin
Bär was professor at the piano faculty of
the Utrecht Conservatory.
