Description:
Solo album from a founding member of Hedningarna
Anders Norudde is a talented multi-instrumentalist and composer. On this, his first solo recording, Anders explores both traditional and original tunes on fiddle, bagpipe, moraharpa, and flutes.
As a soloist, however, Anders is relatively unknown. Many have been captivated by his virtuosity as a multi-instrumentalist and by his ability to write good tunes. This is a project in which Anders has made music on his own terms. Here we hear him play both old tunes and original compositions, accompanied on some selections by Göran "Freddy" Frederickson on guitar and bouzouki.
Himself is a musical portrait of one of the great traditional musicians of our time.

Reviews
- "From the first skirl of the Swedish bagpipes to the final note 26 tracks later, this is a remarkable piece of work, a labor of passion from Hedningarna's multi-instrumentalist, who truly pushes his limits here... The music is uncompromising, and the work of a virtuoso with a complete, focused vision, which is enough to strongly set it apart from the masses, and make it superb. --Chris Nickson, amazon.com
