“The sound of the North. Here it is.” Mikael Strömberg, Aftonbladet, SE
Swedish keyed fiddle player Erik Rydvall and Hardanger fiddle player Olav Luksengård Mjelva, from Røros in Norway, are both counted among the foremost folk musicians of their generation. Rydvall and Mjelva are inquisitive musicians, with strong roots in the traditions of their places of origin. A duo collaboration featuring Hardanger fiddle and keyed fiddle has rarely been presented before. The repertoire and playing styles of the two instruments are basically very different, but the two musicians manage to make the combination sound natural and intriguing.
They have released 3 duo albums which all have been given glowing reviews, and in 2022 they released an album together with violinist Max Baillie - as Lodestar Trio.
Erik and Olav have also recorded music for several large productions:
- Lord of the Rings - the Rings of Power (Amazon)
- Loki (Marvel)
- God of War (Playstation)
