JOHAN HEDIN & GUNNAR IDENSTAM
Låtar II
Caprice CAP21807 (2010)

Nyckelharpa and church organ with Swedish trad and original tunes. There’s imposing dark-veiled, silky depth to the combination’s big sound, and given the keyboard-to-pipes distance of most church organs how they got them to dance in synch with such fluid nippiness on the fast sections – polskas and their ilk - is remarkable.
