Hannah French is joined by musicologist and conductor Árni Heimir Ingólfsson to explore early Icelandic music - from the 13thC century poems known as “Eddas” to the influence of mainland Europe which shaped Iceland’s rich sacred choral traditions, that still continue today.

To listen to this programme using most smart speakers just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play The Early Music Show".
