Various - Toner Frå Heimbygda

Review by Curtis Gosser

Toner Frå Heimbygda is a beautiful album that showcases the rich musical heritage of Norway. The album features a variety of traditional and contemporary songs, performed by various artists from different parts of the country.

The production quality of the album is top-notch, with each track carefully arranged and recorded to bring out the best in the music. The instrumentation is impeccable, with a range of instruments including fiddles, hardanger fiddles, accordions, and guitars, all blending together to create a rich and vibrant sound.

The album starts off with the hauntingly beautiful "Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei Borg", sung by the talented Kari Bremnes. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is a mix of slow, contemplative songs and more upbeat, foot-tapping tunes.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Nordnorsk Julesalme", a traditional Christmas song from Northern Norway. The song is sung by the legendary Norwegian folk singer, Kirsten Bråten Berg, and her powerful voice brings a sense of warmth and joy to the proceedings.
