- The hardanger fiddle is a folk music instrument from the southwest of Norway. Here, masterfully played by the two great fiddlers, Mats and Guro. They just released a duo album filled with beautiful arrangements of traditional hardanger fiddle music, which you can buy here: nesheimeden.ba...
They learned this tune from Guro's teacher, Salve Austenå.

To my undereducated ear, this music has controlled frenzy (hope that makes sense), which I find appealing.
Indeed. It has an attractive yet slightly sinister sound.
It's not surprising that the Norwegian church frowned upon such instruments, thinking they were connected to the devil in some way.
it's addictive once you get into it 😀
I loved it! I was searching for traditional Norwegian dance music and it was all museum stale. I have danced the hambo to traditional music before. So hearing your performance relieved me that the Norwegian Tradtional Spirit is not dead. I am of both Scottish - Campbell - Irish - Carroll and English - Robinson. So very likely some Norwegian blood in me also. Ha, ha. Very nice, great spirit, thanks!
This is phenomenal, thanks for this wonderful video. Their synergy is so impressive.
Skön musik
Man blir inspirerad. Himla fint.

Great sound!
Ich liebe Hardanger Fiddle Musik!!
I love these so much that I feature a Hardanger fiddle player in one of my novels. He's a traveling tent musician who kept a diary in the late 1800s to early 1900s. (Wish I could have found a great HF photo to use for the cover!)
Not sure what a HF photo is, but make a regular image search on the internet using "fanitullen" as keyword, you should find many illustrations and perhaps old photos that are public domain.
Sounds really sweet
It has very beautiful sounds 👏
Så stemningsfull av de gamle dagene
hyggelig, takk for dette
Nice 👍
What a tricky rhythm from ca. 2'00'' onward.
I think it's the same rhythm all the way through, though the melody may syncopate interestingly, and to me it sounds like it's a "Telemark springar" rhythm. I think the fiddler's think of this rhythm as an uneven 3 count: 1 long, 2 medium, 3 short
I think of it like a dance for everyone with a broken left leg.
❤
solid :)
Ah yes, the sound of my country
This tune is very much based on a slow listening tune “Rosen” or The Rose, is it not? Very clearly hear that influence, I play the rose lol
It’s a great tune! Is it traditional or your own composition?
It is a traditional dance tune feom Gjerstad on Norway
Thank you for the nice music! Where could I buy the early baroque bow?
I've seen them on Ebay.
I would check out the Early Music Shop or the Von Hune Workshop.
@@davidlinton2799 Thank you. I will check it.
@@davidlinton2799 You can get a pretty basic one from them, but for quality late renaissance/early baroque, I'd recommend someone like Harry Grabenstein www.hfgbowmaker.com/ -- I have several of his, that I use for both overhand and underhand playing, and they're top quality at a reasonable-ish price range.
Hyggelig. Tusen takk.
Hi! I've been looking for a Hardanger fidle to buy but I don't know where I could get one. Could you help me, please?
My Nordic ancestors approve.
0:14 you can hear the licc :D
samma her
Kinda black sea and circassian mix.
Lord of the rings brought me here
I did joke, once, that it'd be funny if it turned out that old Germanic folk music would just be Oompah with different instruments. Kind of almost sounds like I could be on the right track, here- it keeps pairing up & repeating segments in sets of two & always ends a segment on a single big note (pardon my complete lack of music jargon. Hopefully, readers follow what I mean.)
