Nils Økland - Straum (2019) [Hi-Res]

Nils Økland is one of Norways leading Hardanger fiddle players, a renewer of traditional folk music who is also known to build bridges to classical and contemporary music. In contrast to many fiddlers Økland writes most of the music himself, ranging from beautiful, melodic ballads to atmospheric experiments and darker soundscapes. This is his second solo album, the follow up to "Blå Harding", an album that received fantastic reviews when it was released in 1996.
