What a nice discovery... Not only music is great, but these instruments too as are these talented musicians... Thank you for maintaining this tradition.
This is true art and beautiful musicianship. The kind that can transport you to a kind of bliss. Apparently that kind of excellence has been relegated to the background of life, judging by the limited number of hits on this and other great vids compared to some of the much less accomplished mindless material
Wow. You want to be having a good hair and make-up day when Petter is behind the cameras! Very cool video and beautiful playing. But do we even see the Hardanger player?
I agree. While they are certainly lovely faces (3) , why the extreme close ups? Is this a new method sure to drive the viewer nuts?That aside , wonderfully played by this esteemed ensemble.
Dare to disagree, it helped me a great lot to unfocus and get really into the music without attempting to analyze what do i really see in their faces. Also, it goes with the rhythm^^
If you have never seen a Nyckelharpa or a Hardanger fiddle before this filming technique is irritating, but once you have researched these a bit then you will appreciate it more I think. I do have one problem with this piece though - it ends!
OK, the chicks are hot, and their earrings are whatever, but I want to see the musicianship. Can you hold the damned camera still for a few seconds at a time?
To be honest they probably shot this like 5 times, it’s super hard to line up film and music performances if you’re cutting from multiple angles. So musicianship is just gonna have to be heard not seen in this instance
