VARIOUS ARTISTS
Norsk Folkemusikk
Ta:lik TA51CD-TA69CD + TA70 (2008-2010)

Historic boxed set of 19 CDs and a DVD (all available separately), remastered from recordings of traditional instrumentalists and singers throughout Norway, made by Norwegian national radio and originally released on 78 and vinyl 1953-1974. Particularly interesting is the DVD of TV broadcasts of musicians playing, singing and talking, and Eivind Groven making a seljefløyte.
