Short description:

The Review: This is a solo album from one of Sweden's foremost nyckelharpa players. Olov is a stunning virtuoso, and received the title riksspelman in 1984, and in 1990 he became world champion on both the chromatic nyckelharpa and the old type of nyckelharpa. Olov's teachers on the nyckelharpa were Curt Tallroth and Eric Sahlström, but Olov does more than just stick to the tradition. He also plays modern arranged folk music with the group Väsen and also folk rock with the group Nordman. On this recording we get to hear Olov, both on his own, and together with some of his musical friends. Key words:
