Free Music Notes for Swedish Folk Songs
Free Music Review: One of the best albums ever recorded
Hit: 5 Stars
If you listen to music for the melody, don't read any further, just buy this record. It really is that good.
The songs are all traditional Swedish folk tunes, so old that in most cases nobody really knows who made them any more. The recording is instrumental, with just piano and acoustic bass, and the arrangements are spare, slow, hypnotic, and jazzy, in a way that brings out the immense dignity and beauty in these melodies. There is a joyful-yet-sad quality to these tracks that is so strong, and so beautiful, it could make your heart stop.
This album gets zero media coverage in Norway, and yet somehow it has become a cult classic. Lots of people I meet know about it, and a CD store in Oslo tell me they order another 20 copies of this CD every week. For a 40-year-old CD by an obscure artist that's marketed solely by word of mouth, that's quite impressive...
There really is no reason to hesitate over this album. I've given it away as a gift to lots of people, and played it for lots more. So far, nobody has been less than impressed.
