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

| 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.
