Kristiane Lund
Gamle meisterspelemenn på 78-plater - III
Kristiane Lund (1889-1976) played the fiddle all her life, and was among the very first performers of traditional music to be recorded in Norway. The earliest tracks included on this record from Buen Kulturverkstad are from 1919.
OLA MoSAFINN and KNUT J. DAHLE
Gamle meisterspelemenn på 78-plater
Here you can listen to some of the oldest recorded traditional music from Norway, played by Ola Mosafinn (1822 - 1912) and Knut J. Dahle (1834 - 1921). The relatively poor sound quality, transmitted from old 78 rpm records, cannot hide the richness and the beauty of the music.
Knut and Hauk Buen
Slåttar på Myllarfela
Originally released in 1991, this record is a testament to the immense heritage left behind by Norwegian fiddler Torgeir Augundsson (1801 - 1872). Furthermore, brothers Knut and Hauk Buen used his original instrument for this recording.
