    Default Swedish Christmas Youtubes. Moller, Tallroth etc.

    Just discovered a bunch of Youtubes from Jul I Folkton, which seems to be a concert of Swedish Christmas music featuring Lena Willemark, Ale Moller, Roger Tallroth, Sofia Karlsson and others.

    Really lovely. Marvellous singing and playing.

    and several more. Great.

    Marvelous. Is there anything Ale Möller can't do?

    I'm glad someone else likes it. There's quite a lot of CBOM and tenor guitar interest here as well, incidentally.

    I think you can get a CD or downloads of this stuff from Amazon or elsewhere.

    Jul I Folkton Live is the CD, from 2009. There seems to have been an earlier CD, but I'm not sure on details.

    Thanks for the links.

    That Jul I Folkton live CD is one of my holiday favorites. You can download it for a very reasonable fee from iTunes (16 tracks for &9.99).

    Yes, agree completely. Have just recently downloaded the 09 album, and think its terrific. Definitely worth investigating on YouTube, if you haven't seen this yet.

    Time to revive this thread. Wonderful Christmas music featuring many of the leading Swedish players. There are several videos from the same show,

    Beautiful. Thanks. Was totally unaware of this. Will definitely download the CD. (And probably share a few of these videos with friends.)

    Great! I love Christmas carols, and play lots on the mandolin. Swedish carol music was new to me, but I really enjoyed
    the pieces.

    My wife gave me the folios of Scandinavian fiddle tunes (I ordered ; ) for Christmas - I've been on a bit of a tear with it lately...ordered a hardanger too.

    I've got a soft spot for trad scand.

    Roger Tallroth plays in Vasen - I must try some of their tunes on mandolin, because they should fit the same kind of pitch range. Vasen has traditional Swedish tuning nyckelharpa and 5 string viola strung C G D A E, which should fit. At the high end of the range (mandolin high E string up) the nyckelharpa has high string tension and short string length, because it's playing high up it's top string (which is tuned to the same A as mandolin A string). At those pitches it sounds to me as if it shares some of the frequencies of top strings mandolin. Vasen publishes books of their self composed tunes.

    Thanks Dagger - pity, the 3 piece worked really well. Roger Talroth used to play what appeared to be a Martin 12 string guitar, but it didn't make the big jangly 12 string sound I expect to hear (maybe I listen to too much Leo Kottke?).
