Jón Leifs. Life in Tones. Biography. Compiled by Árni Heimir Ingólfsson.
A dramatic and tense biography of this remarkable and controversial artist. At the age of seventeen he sailed to study in Germany and worked there during very fateful times. He was the first Icelander to conduct a full symphony orchestra, recorded Icelandic folk songs when they were unappreciated, founded STEF and composed music that many considered to be the most annoying noise but is now considered a magnificent contribution to Icelandic music. (Bókatíðindi 2009).
