“Jóhann Jóhannsson’s compositions translate beautifully to the piano”
Alice Sara Ott

Berlin, 6 March 2026. Alice Sara Ott’s latest Deutsche Grammophon album is out now, digitally, on CD and on vinyl (2 LPs). Jóhann Jóhannsson – Piano Works presents a collection of world premiere recordings of music by Jóhann Jóhannsson. The album follows on from the success of the two EPs (Film Themes and From Englabörn) issued in late 2025, featuring seven of the album’s tracks. Recorded in the late composer’s native Iceland, the 30-track album draws on an edition of solo piano transcriptions of his works recently published by Faber Music. These span the composer’s career, from studio albums such as Englabörn and Orphée to the pioneering scores he wrote for documentaries or feature films such as Copenhagen Dreams, Personal Effects and the Golden-Globe-winning The Theory of Everything.
