Although the most famous, Edvard Grieg is only one of many Norwegian composers who found folk music a deep and decisive source of inspiration, as demonstrated by this album. Combining traditional folk songs with recent compositions springing from folk, Grete Pedersen and the Norwegian Soloists' Choir make a compelling case for the powerful hold that the music has over the country's cultural life. For the recording, Pedersen invited one of Norway’s most respected folk singers, Berit Opheim Vers, to join her, the choir and fiddler and composer Gjermund Larsen on their journey through this intricate landscape.
