My edition was Danish and was one of the first records I got, an EP from 1972. Prokofjev himself wrote both story and music, but I don&#8217;t think I could have been given a greater task than to write a story that would end on stage with a symphony orchestra. It felt to saying yes to a dream that I didn&#8217;t dare to dream, so of course I said yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4c189f6886fba65526953ce3b397087a\">When I had written the story and K\u00e1ri accepted it, I got the idea to ask Janus \u00e1 H\u00fasagar\u00f0i to make some sketches, because the story was full of pictures. He agreed immediately and when they were finished, I went to my publisher, B\u00f3kadeildin with the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking a book out of the collective work. It ended with a collaboration between the B\u00f3kadeildin, N\u00c1M and the Faroese Symphony Orchestra, which culminated in a concert and book release in April 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6c4df0f3e83cb47911d8f69fff00803f\">Two years later, Vei\u00f0a vind was also translated into Icelandic by \u00de\u00f3rarinn Eldj\u00e1rn. I attended the concert in Harpa in May 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-721361ca7d8e84d000dd27a9569ef438\">In January 2019, the London Symphony Orchestra played Catch the Wind (translation by Marita Thomsen) at the Barbican Hall, where I also was in the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b75d7d1b5b36e4e0982bf360876f41a6\">Since then, the work has been performed countless times by the Faroese and Icelandic symphony orchestras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-17df914ad3697703fcb77454573c3da4\">At the concert on Saturday I could confirm that although the work is 14 years old, I am still satisfied with the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b0ebc5a9db3e09e6992c26b5835fb9f9\">However, I wish it had been possible to publish the book in English as well, but the publisher who had agreed to publish it cancelled at the last minute because they thought the book would be too expensive to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Um vikuskifti\u00f0 v\u00f3ru \u00e1rligu barnakonsertirnar hj\u00e1 F\u00f8roya Symfoniorkestri og eg hev\u00f0i ta\u00f0 gle\u00f0i aftur at hoyra m\u00edna s\u00f8gu &#8220;Vei\u00f0a vind&#8221; vi\u00f0 t\u00f3nleiki eftir K\u00e1ra B\u00e6k og myndunum hj\u00e1 Janusi \u00e1&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/veida-vind-aftur-catch-the-wind-again\/\"> Les meira \/ Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_regular_price":[],"currency_symbol":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[117,2,7,88,90,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aevintyr","category-bokmentir","category-bokur","category-mal","category-tidindi","category-veida-vind"],"post_slider_layout_featured_media_urls":{"thumbnail":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2-150x150.png",150,150,true],"post_slider_layout_landscape_large":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",1107,722,false],"post_slider_layout_portrait_large":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",1107,722,false],"post_slider_layout_square_large":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",1107,722,false],"post_slider_layout_landscape":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",600,391,false],"post_slider_layout_portrait":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",600,391,false],"post_slider_layout_square":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",600,391,false],"full":["https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png",1107,722,false]},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/veidavind2.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5636"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5646,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5636\/revisions\/5646"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rakelhelmsdal.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
