Alf Cranner - Almuens Opera
Review by knzo fathy
Alf Cranner's album Almuens Opera is a beautiful and haunting collection of Norwegian folk music. The album features Cranner's evocative vocals and intricate guitar work, as well as the traditional instruments of the region, including the Hardanger fiddle and the langeleik. The songs on Almuens Opera range from lively dance tunes to contemplative ballads, all infused with the rich history and culture of Norway. Cranner's arrangements are both faithful to the traditional music and innovative, incorporating elements of jazz and world music. Almuens Opera is a stunning tribute to the beauty and diversity of Norwegian folk music, and a must-listen for anyone interested in world music.

Notes
- Cover with laminated sleeve. Runouts are identical with the transitional issue.
- When they repressed this record with a new record number, 2475 017, they first used the covers they had left with the old number 2413 002 before they started to use the new laminated covers with number 2475 017. The laminated cover has a little bit more yellow colour than the old type.
- Opptakene er gjort i tiden Januar - Juni 1970.
- Sleeve from first printing with structured cardboard cover and record number 2413 002.
- Labels have record number 2475 017 (etched). This number is also in runouts. Number 2475021 (which is etched is a wrong number and has never used for this production) and number 2413 002 (which is stamped is the original number) in runouts are erased. Release year is uncertain.
