Benedicte Maurseth - Over Tones

Cover art and liner notes included

"The results are relatively slow and steady, full of space and rich with mountain and ocean air. Maurseth will set up a repeating phrase and Nordli will swoop and fly above it, as a bird on an airwave. The blend of the smooth clear voice and the slightly rasping strings is just close enough and just distinct enough. The kind of album that surrounds the listener in a whole other world."

Over Tones showcases the talents of two exceptional folk musicians from the West of Norway: Benedicte Maurseth on vocals and the Hardanger fiddle and vocalist Åsne Valland Nordli. Both musicians, well established in their homeland, have found personal ways to extend the essence of a great tradition, through historically informed interpretations of old music and also through their own pieces. The purity of the delivery, of old music and new music alike, makes this a timeless performance.
