On the CD Valdresspel i Amerika, Laura Ellestad presents interpretations of tunes from the repertoires of five of the foremost emigrant Hardanger fiddlers from Valdres: Arne Steinsrud, Trond Eltun, Bendik i Nø’n, Knut Sjåheim, and Oscar Hamrey.
In order to recreate repertoire linked to the five selected fiddlers, Ellestad used a wide range of source material, including transcriptions and archive recordings. The tunes on this recording constitute an exciting and lesser-known part of the Hardanger fiddle tradition from Valdres.
Released on the Norwegian label ta:lik. For more information from ta:lik, see here.
Available in select stores, and on iTunes, Wimp, and Spotify.
