Folk and Classical

Erling Ólafsson fæddist 21. ágúst 1910. Hann þótti hafa einhverja fegurstu baríntonrödd sem heyrst hafði hér á landi og hefði á efa hlotið mikinn frama hefði honum enst aldur. Erling náði aðeins að syngja inn á tvær 78 snúninga hljómplötur sem gefnar voru út af Fálkanum árið 1933, en þá var hann þegar orðin illa haldinn af þeim sjúkdómi sem leiddi hann til dauða hálfu hálfu öðru ári eftir að hann söng þær inn. Á fyrri plötunni voru þau lög sem finna má á tonlist.is; Mamma eftir Karl O. Runólfsson og Í fjarlægð eftir Sigurður Þórarinsson, en á síðari pötunni eru að finna lögin Svörtu augun og Sigling sem bæði eru eftir erlenda höfunda. Erling Ólafsson lést þann 23. desember 1934 Erling Ólafsson was born 21 August 1910. He was considered to have some of the most beautiful baríntonrödd which had been heard in this country and had a doubt received much fame would have lasted him ages. Erling only managed to sing in two 78 rpm records released by the Falcons in 1933, but he was already suffers severely from the disease that led to his death on the part of the other half a year after he sang them. The first album were songs Mamma Karl O. Runólfsson and The Distance by Sigurd Þórarinsson, but in the second plate are finding songs Black Eyes and Sailing (Torna A Surriento) are both for foreign authors. Erling Ólafsson died on December 23, 1934
