Amazing third album from hardanger fiddle and all round violin and viola master Nils Okland. Creatively expanding on a range of traditional music from his homeland, Nils is engaged like some of the unsung heroes of new and traditional music - Stefan Micus, Andrew Cronshaw, Rabih Abou Khalil - people at once working inside and outside their respective traditions, as renewers of folk music, building bridges to classical, contemporary and improvised listening music. There's clearly deep respect and schooling here in his Norwegian musical heritage - yet a real sense of a continuity with some kind of oral folk tradition and yet openness to the experimental possibilities of the music, once effectively charged with modern impulses. On ”Bris”, his second album for Rune Grammofon, all the music is self-penned, and this alone is something of a departure from the norm. Joined by long term musical companion Sigbjørn Apeland on harmonium, Mats Eilertsen of Food on double-bass and Per Oddvar Johansen and Håkon Stene on dual percussions - this record will surely delight, calm and lead you to reflect on how much better Rune's output can possibly become. Quite outstandingly beautiful - this is sensitive and lovely in all the right ways. Recommended.
