    Maigret and his fellow inspector Lognon find themselves trying to outmanoeuver each other when they investigate the case of a mysterious young woman whose new life in Paris is tragically cut short. Maigret wouldn't have admitted that what intrigued him most was the victim's face. All he had seen of it so far was one profile. Was it the bruises that gave her that sullen air? She looked like a bad-tempered little girl. Her combed-back brown hair was very smooth but naturally wavy. The rain had diluted her makeup a little, and instead of making her older or uglier, it made her younger and more appealing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Armstrong.

    Der jüngst verstorbene Jóhann Jóhannsson beendete kurz vor seinem Tod sein neues Album. "Englabörn & Variations" erscheint nun wie geplant. Es ist ein berührendes posthumes Zeugnis der eindringlichen Tonsprache des Komponisten. Auf dem neuen Doppelalbum hat sich Jóhannsson selbst mit seinem ersten Solo-Album aus dem Jahr 2002 auseinandergesetzt und diesem neue Variationen hinzugefügt. So enthält es eine Klavierversion des Titeltracks von DG-Kollege Vikingur Ólafsson und ergreifende Chorstücke. Aber auch andere international bekannte Musiker, die Jóhannsson bewunderte, haben ihre Interpretationen hinzugefügt: u.a. Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ambient-Duo A Winged Victory for a Sullen, Komponist und Produzent Paul Corley. "Seine Musik ist herausragend in ihrer intensiven Klangfülle und lyrischen Dichte. Und sie ist für meine Ohren sehr isländisch", so Sakamoto.Dass ausgerechnet das Album mit dem Jóhannsson seine Solo-Karriere begann diese nun beschließt, damit hat niemand gerechnet. Doch es zeigt ihn als den sensiblen Klangmaler und poetischen Erzähler, der er war. Sein erstes Album hat auch nach 16 Jahren nichts an Kraft und Tiefe verloren und Jóhannsson wollte das Alte neben dem Neuen erklingen lassen.
